A small notice to those who post comments to my entries; I've had to turn on that device that makes you enter random letters to verify that you are a real person, and not a computer program like the ones that mercilessly post advertisements for travel agencies. Sorry for the minor hassle.
In other news, it looks like we may have a new political issue: toy gun-control. As if the rotten bastards of the old fashioned gun-control movement weren't enough to keep me up at night, now we can have a new wave of goofy liberals and grandmother conservatives to flaunt their disapproval of TOY firearms.
I once asked a Japanese guy what sort of restrictions they have on Airsoft guns in Japan, and he laughed as if I had asked the stupidest question he had ever heard, and said "Noooo, it's toy!" So if we're gonna start banning and/or strictly regulating offensive toys, whats next? Real guns, alcohol, tobacco, fatty foods, swear words, movies, books, sex, cigarette lighters? Oh, wait, I forgot, those are ALL regulated or banned in some form or another in various places throughout the nation.
God bless America and its ever-growing Big Brother.

Kudos to blocking those terrible comment bots.
Hearing this anti-airsoft news is just making my blood boil. I don't know what to say. Maybe it's the old-fashioned case of a few morons ruining one free, fun activity for everyone else.
And another thing, isn't this an enforcement problem and not a legislative one? Taking a fake gun to school or brandishing one in public is a reckless action that should be handled accordingly. The public is so fearful that any new phenomenon picks up a few news stories and "We just can't have that!"

A few stupid kids go and ruin things for everyone. Unfortunately, it happens all the time.
We've been living with "big brother" since the patriot act. More gun control laws are a drop in the bucket.
Interestingly enough, I've never really opposed the Patriot Act. I think it could be a useful tool to combat terrorism, and thus far I've seen no documented abuses. But that's just me.
