The day airsoft is the banned is the day I start breaking the "law". Or I'll just go buy a RS M4 and be good to go. bleeding state/federal government needs to stay out of peoples' lives. It's disgusting how much the government noses in. What ever happened to a free nation? Bills such as the Patriot Act, NDAA, and the Brady Bill(as well as many others) needlessly encroach on our rights as US citizens.
Trying to say banning any weapon unless it's an explosive type weapon (M203, RPGs, etc.) is ridiculous. Switzerland has the lowest crime rate in the world, yet they have people who walk publicly with assault rifles on their person.
If Americans would start carrying concealed as a day to day thing in bulk, crime would plummet. Why? Because the idiot who tries to do anything will have everyone else to contend with, instead of the maybe one smart person carrying.
"The only way to stop a bad man with a gun, is a good man with a gun."
Guns will always be available to criminals, only the law abiders and the wannabe two-bit criminals will be disarmed. All the good people will be easy prey to the criminals who own a weapon.
Old statsistics, but whatever...
"* A 1982 survey of male felons in 11 state prisons dispersed across the U.S. found:[21]
• 34% had been "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"
• 40% had decided not to commit a crime because they "knew or believed that the victim was carrying a gun"
• 69% personally knew other criminals who had been "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"[22]"
P.S. I'm sure all you liberals will hate, go for it. Have fun. It doesn't change the truth at all.
