I personlly think that airsoft guns should be legal with or without an orange tip. Paintballers don't have to have and neather do BB-Guns. If a bb-gun is going to be able to be soled without an orange tip than airsoft guns should atomatically have that option. Yes some people may misuse them or bring them out in public. But that's what this site and group is for. We airsoft in areas where the public will not see us.
I just don't see the reason why we have to have orange tips on our guns.
