The sky is falling for British Airsoft

[Opea]

The French play airsoft? When they get together for a game, do they just toss down their AEG's and walk off the field? Or do they all just carry some kind of white flag?

Lol, being of French decent i can chuckle to that and add


For sale, good french aeg, only been dropped once.

nice one! if you go to any brit news site you can see it on every one, clamp down on replica guns, drinking, knives, air guns etc. the police want it. try itv.com if you want to read it.

British retards at work. Just like our Liberals! :tup:

Seriously, watch a bunch of fucking morons. So hypocritical as well. Why do I say that? Well they're punishing the law-abiding because of the idiots... SO why don't they make cars illegal because drunk drivers use them to kill people?

Neither are cars....ask the 1.5 billion or so dirt poor subsistance-farming Chinese and Indian folks who get by with bicycles.

Because they serve more uses than the enjoment of a hobby of a small minority, tehy have professional uses too, not to mention the benefits of cars far outweigh their cost in terms of lives saved vs. thsoe killed.

Looks like most people in the UK feel the same way we do. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/4072902.stm

Im going to watch closely to what happens over the next while. If they fight this and win maybe we can use what they did as a model for what to do here.

Hi, I'm new on this forum, I live in the US, I thought I would give my opinion about the whole situation.

Basically, that sucks balls. It better not pass, because It'll give other countries ideas. But If it does pass, can't airsoft continue with bright colored replicas? Not that I would want this, I would rather they stay how they are, it would be better than nothing, but I think that would take away the fun of airsoft, and many people would probbably quit.

So anyway, I don't think the US will ban airsoft, although certain states might(there have been rumors of New Jersy banning it) I don't think airsoft has been given too bad of a name here, Police train with airsoft, and there haven't been too many stupid kids pointing them at cops and what not... If it did get banned here, I would shoot myself. I can't live without it, and paintball wouldn't come near replacing it.

Peace out~

Dont say that.

In Scotland it is a criminal offence to be carrying ANY type of knife in public. The police don't have guns, and the criminals don't have guns. So if you commit a crime over there - it's "Stop...or I'll say stop again!".

As George Carlin would say: This is the pussification of the western society!

And I thought this country was becoming a police state!

I wouldn't worry about any new bills or laws in Canada - when our government is in such termoil over trying to get rid of the existing one, the Gomery Inquiry,...who's got time to make up new bills? They all want to go to the polls...

I say we should enjoy this time of chaos here - and at the same time, support the Brits in any way we can. Sad state of affairs - I wanted to play there one day.

well regardless, I signed it and stated what I felt, I was signature 219; Jonas Goudie, feel free to read it and hopfully it will inspire others to say what they feel along side their signature. If they get a thousand online sigs, and they get four thousand offline sigs, theyve got a real case in favour of airsoft. Even if it ends up not saving uk, atleast you can say you fought along side them. (they are suppose to be our brothers)

The way they would save airsoft in the uk is show that it makes money for the gvt, ie jobs. An informal estimate is that somewhere around 500 jobs between retailers and airsoft fields that would be lost. Not that many jobs in the big picture... If they're lucky they will get the model we have, and if they're luckier they may be able to use airsoft guns as a "low powered air rifle" classification instead of the "replica" classification.

/Joke
.

Joke, understood, but


Well you know the French dominated Europe for hundreds of years.. Ever hear of the Frankish Empire?

they won the hundred years war against England,

It is unfair to perpetuate the steriotype of the cowardly French , based on their capitulation in the face of Blitzkrig in WW2. There was not an army on the planet in 1939 than could have done any better, America included.

Balanced across history the French have kicked ass for a very long time.

So did Poland, what's your point? :P
