Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it

The headline is pretty damning….” WINSTON-SALEM — Winston-Salem police have seized 280 BB guns and airsoft rifles in the past three years, and those types of weapons have been used in 600 crimes in Winston-Salem during that period, police officials said Wednesday….”

Read this one, and know that it is usually NOT law-abiding, police-supporting individuals who are breaking laws and taking their lives into their own hands with airsoft guns.  Why we ALL need to be making connections and spreading the good word with our own local LEO’s…

Every so often, we get one of these stories in the old news feeds...and the overriding question that we ask every, single, stinkin', time is...."if they are illegal, why do so many airsoft guns come out of government-owned factories?"  You answer for yourselves.

We caught up with FRYE the Airsoft Ambassador, who spins everyone up in a very fast update on the fight to protect airsoft in Massachusetts and the northeast. The few are doing the work of many, battling back against rogue anti-2A representatives bent on destroying our game. Give these folks your support by clicking on these links to help spread the word!

Come on Balt O. Srsly?  The fallout breaks down like this; 7 shooting by LEO’s so far this year, 3 in the past week.  BB Gun kid shot by plain-clothes officers survives but will NOT BE CHARGED much less prosecuted for the myriad laws he allegedly broke.  But, immediately….what happens?  LETS BAN THE GUNS.  Plastic, Polymer, Steel, Real, Fake, Airsoft/BB/Pellet or Bullets…

Come on Balto.  Are you SERIOUS?  This sets the stage for more police, facing down more kids with guns. (SEARCH IT…many Baltmore Sun op-ed writers agree!)
