FIGHT THE DEATH OF AIRSOFT IN THE USA - Facebook Page to SHARE NOW!
Thumpy Covey's insight:
This looks to-be THE place that will be coordinating the fight to SAVE AIRSOFT in Massachusetts….and it will be both a fight and, if it fails, the DEATH of airsoft as game in Mass., as well as a harbinger of anti-Airsoft legislation across the country. That is not hype. If we ALL do not get behind CRUSHING this bill, Airsoft in the USA has a roadmap for destruction. California was just the beginning. Massachusetts H-3476 is the bitter end. SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE, Sign the petitions as a start…and stand by for the call-to-arms to save our game. THUMPY….OVER!

“…On December 16, 2010, Royahent Gomez Eriza, who was 13 at the time, was playing with two friends in the street in Glassell Park when two LAPD officers saw them while on patrol. According to the police account, the officer thought Gomez Eriza was an adult and was not able to tell his Airsoft gun, which had an orange tip, was only a replica. One of the officers shot Gomez Eriza and the bullet shattered his vertebrae, making him paralyzed from the chest down….”

"...While it is certainly a real tragedy when any child is injured or killed because a police officer mistook a toy gun for a real gun, the burden of responsibility should not remain, solely, on officers and/or individuals who seek to defend themselves against imminent danger or death. Parents should know the huge safety risks involved before investing in toy guns for their children and those children should not be allowed to roam the streets carrying them...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Although not "real news," this article on City Watch LA's site is an op-ed whose writer has clearly done her homework...and a great "read this" pointer for folks who want to get up-to-speed on the LA./Cali/US Senate Bill situation in a hurry. And, the quote above? We could NOT AGREE MORE!

Thumpy Covey's insight:
BOY CULTURE: An Encyclopedia: E-Book and excerpts – LINK HERE You know your little hobby has made the ‘big time’ when the academics and scholars start to inform, dissect, categorize, reflect on, title and “study” what’s happening with the participant-humans. Specifically, when it “involves the children.” Take, for example…BOY CULTURE: An Encyclopedia, which places “GUNS” and a few paragraphs in CHAPTER 6: “BAD” Boys. Certainly a scholarly tome, posted in e-book format for accessibility and ease-of-editing as new information becomes available, this one is edited by…well…as diverse a group of individuals as you might imagine. But the WHO is not as important as the WHY...."

Also spreading the word, several of the USA's top Airsoft companies posted up links, videos and social media posts. Valken Airsoft posted a trifecta of videos on their YouTube Channel; 2 on their understanding of the requirements California retailers and gun owners will need to take for rifles and pistols, as well as a third video on New York State's changed requirements as well...
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Just another New Year’s Day, or a ‘date which will live in infamy?’ We guess that depends on what you THINK will happen when California’s long-fought and long-dreaded SB 199 takes effect. And, what legal-beagles in the Golden State might start doing to enforce that law. Quick Recap for those following along and new-to-the-fight...THUMPY SEARCH LINK So, some of the forward leaning folks in America's Airsoft Industry...SoCal being the heart of most of the USA's import HQ for guns, gear and goodies across the Pacific...have been pro-actively prepping for January One. First up, from a shop perspective, you won't find a better spokesperson than our buddy Jerry "BEAST" Ross from Gorilla Airsoft...who was interviewed by a TV local reporter Wednesday...CLICK TO WATCH!...

Thumpy Covey's insight:
Apparently, California Democrats have enough spare cash lying around to “Crush” more than just the AIRSOFT INDUSTRY in their state…. WHO Thought THIS was a good idea? Oh, Wait….

"...But (Jordan) Baylon is playing on borrowed time. In September, Gov. Jerry Brown signed the Imitation Firearms Safety Act, which forbids nearly all types of pellet and BB guns from being shown in public unless they are fashioned in pink, red or another bright color.
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Skims the surface of the debate...as all "big media" seems to do nowadays...but never asks hard questions or gets solid answers from anyone...and they used 3 reporters and the resources of one of the nation's bastions of journalism to get mush to their "audience/readers." You are doing this all wrong, LATIMES...why do I alwys read that "Late to the Times?"

Man oh man, do we get tired of these. And again, California...with all its insane and inane laws...police again open fire on a guy with an airsoft gun on full display on a city street.
