lol 2:50... another liberal who does not understand guns. They dont understand that even if you ban guns bad guys will still get them illegally, the only people your stopping is the legitimate owners.

I'm a very pro gun individual and I have to strongly agree with the Durham Regional Police Officer. "If you wanna play with this in the back yard , knock yourself out" That I strongly agree with! I've been shooting these airguns all my life. No one has ever got hurt , and I was NEVER Stupid enough to take these into public because i'm not a moron! However having said that stupid teenagers have been that careless. The reporter and the whole story was complete liberal bullshit. The cop was right

@thestigman1 So that I could just paint my real gun orange and be a criminal?

[thestigman1]

fake guns should be orange or blue and real black anybody agree

It's not an issue, this is directly a left wing aproach to firearms or anything that relates to such. This is the wrong aproach and we should watch what these liberal propaganda machines and saying and doing to our government. Also your totally right about the airsoft, there are more than enough safety precaustions to go along with such and this is just liberals trying to blame objects and not people for bad things. ITS JUST THAT SIMPLE.

i don't see how this is a problem. i mean airsoft guns have orange tips. i mean your stupid if you tape it or paint over it cause your practically just asking a cop to shoot you. so its your own fault if you die./

I personally don't believe that the 18 year or older law in Canada really does much. First i own one and i'm 15. Second these guns do not pose much of a risk other than eye injuries. Third and my last point it all has to do with the user, i shoot my airguns (which look real) in a controlled safe environment with safety gogles, although others are not as safe and that has nothing to do with age. Bb and pellet guns are a tool to practice markmanship and have a great time. BACK OFF GOVERNMENT!
