The first thing they teach you wen you take your firearme safety corse to apply for an FID card or a LTC is that you treat every gun as if it were loaded. I have a collection of over 20 airsoft guns both pistals and rifles and a collection of over 10 real firearms. yes they are all safe in the respect that they won't kill you. but in the eyes of the law they look just like one that can. this is why they all come with an orange tip on the muzzle this is to differenciate them from the real thing. now having sed that THIS STILL DOES NOT MAKE THEM TOYS. they fire pellets which in my eyes are bullets without the shell. would i like to one day teach my kids how to shoot straight one day, of corse. but they won't so much as look at my guns untill i know that they understand that theese things are not toys and if you or anyone else out there think of them as toys, then in my eyes you aren't mature enough to be alloud to own them. spacificly the 14 year old and the 12 year old. from earlyer. do us all a favor, keep the orange tip on your guns and dont be whipin em out in the middle of the streed. becaure that's how people get hurt or killed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839192.post-11069073126756654332011-12-26T16:54:47.382-08:002011-12-26T16:54:47.382-08:00I just got an airsoft rifle for my 14 yr old.

He just asked if he could take it to a friends house south of Boston in an area where houses are close, with little or no backyard. I said NO. I won't be there, and you are too close to houses. He can use them in the country where we live; thats it.

You can get them for like 20 dollars at Walmart. They are so easy to get. They are not dangerous unless they hit you in the eye. I don't play with eye gear but if you do that eliminates all danger of an injury. Plus they have an orange tip which real guns don't have so they cant be mistaken for a real gun.

I have a strict policy for my guns, including the safeties on even when there is no ammo within 100 yards of it. I always check to see if it is loaded, and I never point it at anyone unless we're playing airsoft or filming. Some teens can handle these "Toys" quite responsibly, but some youth, younger, or have a mental disability should not possess one. People know what they can handle, not anyone else. I was unsure the first time I used mine, and now, I am very comfortable unless it is in the hands of someone else.<br /><br />My grandfather used to be a marksman, and my father learned well from him, as I did from him that even Cap Guns should be treated as responsibly as real guns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839192.post-3192246710086532822011-03-01T02:54:01.656-08:002011-03-01T02:54:01.656-08:00ok...let's step back and look at the big pictu...ok...let's step back and look at the big picture here...airsoft guns are not the problem...whether or not they have orange muzzles isn't the problem..<br /><br />The problem is people like Lawes that try to force thier views on everyone else, while not having a proper knowledge of the subject matter at hand.<br /><br />I myself think airsoft is just ghey, but this IS America, and I defend the constitutional right to "the pursuit of happiness", so just 'cuz I don't like it doesn't mean that it should be outlawed...what ever happened to "live and let live"?<br /><br />The problem is the police...in America we've let our police get out of control...the police in any large city have transformoed over the last 30 years from the civilian peacekeepers they're intended to be, into a perverse military "public suppression" force more akin to the "SS",thier minds sickened, twisted, and paranoid, thinking that every "average joe" is some sexual predator or drug addict, and harrassing people for kicks...the police are feared by not just criminals, but by law-abiding citizens alike...<br /><br />The problem is that you can't just take a person straight out of the military and slap a badge on them and give them civilian authority, because they have no clue how to act in a "civilain" setting (no offense to all you military folks, but most of you are "institutionalized", and therefore tend to relate to civilians in an improper military manner), directly leading to unfortunate encounters between police and kids playing with toy guns.<br /><br />And in conlusion.

Even the ones that do ave the tips on them are being taken off. You can purchase a black tip on e-bay. In the laws eyes, this can be a very serious situation. As stated, law enforcement is trained to act as though it is a deadly force weapon. Just because some of you people like to run around a room somewhere and "pretend shoot" each other for fun doesn't mean it is all fun and games. Someone carrying a toy gun could be injured by police because it is thought to be real. I don't know about you...but if you pulled a weapon on me like that and I had the chance to it you first. I would. I'm sure many officers would have a similar opinion.

Although one of my friends painted his orange tip black to make it look more realistic-in this case, yes it should be treated as a deadly weapon case scenario. These are plastic shooting toys, yes slightly dangerous toys but toys none the less.
