very true, warhawk. but for the moment being, legalizing airsoft is still impractical.
all airsoft is age restricted (either 18+ or 10+) but how can you gurantee that parents will not buy them for thier precious children?
how can you gurantee that once airsoft is legalized, we wouldnt have to walk in the streets at night in fear of 'armed' robbery, rape or other crimes, let the 'arms' be plastic guns or real steel?
how can you gurantee that no one would shoot people or animals while trash is being dumped RIGHT UNDER 'no littering' signboards, even if you CARVE the warning into the gun?
one have to admit, many in our country still have third-world mentality. and once the crime rate goes up if airsoft is legalized, does our government have the ability to cope with it? what about the damages and the trauma it brings to the unfortunate victims?
so what about restricted legalizing? but hey, even when airsoft is illegal we have means to get our hands on one, so restricted legalizing is basically like giving underground airsofters a legal way to bring it into the country, which makes no difference.
and it'll take quite some time to change a nations mentality, if ever. so i think airsoft will still be underground for some time.
dont get me wrong, i love airsoft too and i want it in our country as much as most of you here do, but hey, think about it for a sec. is our childrens eyeball, or our neighbourhoods security safe and will stay so? i seriously doubt it.
just my two cents.
peace.
Dear sir,
I seconded your opinion regarding the the evil deed that can be caused by legalizing this sport. As such stricter rules must be imposed by the government in deciding who are certified to own airsoft. We tried to figure out a few ideas as of how this sport can be legalize and come out with a complicated regulations in which require participation TDM and PDRM. Therefore, We suggest a few procedure that airsofter enthusiast need to follow;
1) Government must limit number of airsoft that can be purchased by enthusiast
2) Government must limit number of legal airsoft skirmish ground
3) Enthusiast are to go for complete Territorial Army basic training
4) Enthusiast are required to apply for licence upon owning the airsoft
5) All airsoft gun are to be registered and marked by KBS for tracking purpose
6) All airsoft gun are to be stored in legal airsoft armoury
7) Limit the FPS for airsoft ( suggestion; 400 FPS for AEGs and 550 for sniper class AEGs)
8) Report any airsoft loss to the law enforcement.
What we suggest might be absurd; especially the part where you have to go for Territorial Army training. However, with such training, enthusiast will be taught the required dicipline in handling harmless items which can be turn into weapon with respect and like cyrusvirus said, there are things in life that we need to earn and I seriously agreed with him. If airsofter can be purchase in normal circumstances where normal regulations are needed, they tend to misuse for evil deed. If we have to earn it instead, than the more you appreciate it when we have it. At the end of the day, regardless how strict the rules were laid, if enthusiast have passion, nothing boundries will halt their march and at the end of the day, there will still be misdeed happen even with the strictest mean of regulation laid on the ground. The least we could do is to limit it.
As for sir Cyrusvirus question,
We stumbled upon a book entitled "U.S Army Ranger Guidelines". With this book, along with the help of a few veteren, we will try to employ appropriate simulated tactics and manoeuvre. We would like the game to be more interesting instead of the same " Crush, Kill and Destroy" type of game
