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

Massachusetts’ proposed House Bill 3476 was heard in the Statehouse in Boston Wednesday afternoon, and was referred back to the state’s House Judiciary Committee.

What that means in a nutshell is that the proposed Airsoft/BB-Pellet Gun/Paintball and Sports Shooting KILLER LAW is STILL ALIVE, but NOT YET in a position to be voted on and then sent to the Governor.

We are waiting to pass on any video from Rob G. of FUBAR Airsoft or SISU MILSIM, who were part of the pro-Airsoft contingent of players and business owners in the Statehouse all day, trying to both get the message to supportive House Members AND coordinate with other groups opposed to the measure, including GOAL – the Gun Owners Action League in Mass…LINK HERE!

There is one important date today that I can not make.  But I will be there in spirit and ready to help where I can as backup-from-the-cybernet’.  GO GET ‘EM MASSACHUSSETTS! STORM THE STATEHOUSE and Crush H-3476 TODAY!

Saw this one over on the always-reliable AIRSOFT INTERNATIONAL FB Fan Channel…and wondered what ‘Softers around the world say about any attempt to combat terrorism by such a wrong-headed official idea as this. True…all of us have different levels of ‘official-dumb’ to navigate in our quest for BB warz…but, come on.  Do we let the terrorists win?

CLICK THE PIC for the official link to the Met’s ‘campaign”…and LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS HERE for us to share…

There are not many “new findings” from this abstract of a study from Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, Texas….involving injuries from improper use of what they term “nonpowder guns”…airsoft, BB, pellet and paintball guns & projectiles…Key Points presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics annual conference on October 25:

WEAR EYE PROTECTION AT ALL TIMES…

PARENTS NEED TO SUPERVISE USE BY MINORS…

AND, yet again, because many see these as “toys” and not “guns” (regardless of the supposition that airsoft and paintball guns are “powerful weapons causing increasingly severe and sometimes life-threatening injuries in pediatric patients….” yet another call to, you guessed it…legislate ‘guns.’

To wit we say…You can’t legislate away all risk, and you can’t legislate common sense. Period.

UPDATE FROM BOSTON!  Rob from FUBAR AIRSOFT and some of his guys are BOOTS ON THE GROUND to Storm The Statehouse...and we also heard from SISU MILSIM that she is going to be traveling down to Boston from New Hampshire to support the effort!
