I did take the opportunity to address his lack of knowledge of the classification of guns in his referring to airsoft guns as 'replicas'. I explained bb guns, pellet guns, imitation firearms (airsoft/not illegal), replica firearms (non-firing illegal guns), registered handguns (legal) and unregistered or stolen handguns (illegal), and that it would be helpful if the media used the correct references when reporting stories about said guns because everything is incorrectly being labelled a replica.
