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

RESPECT is a two-way street, a broad avenue that you not only can drive up and down in your cheap little VW, “sporty” Acura or big, expensive Pagani Huayra…but from time to time, you might have to walk ACROSS that road with the rest of us “pedestrians.”  That’s when you discover that the road you pave does not stop at the end of your own driveway, even at 1 Hacker Way.

Writing All Lives Matter doesn’t make someone a racist.  It makes them race-agnostic.  Banning the use of your products (Facebook/Instagram…) for lawful purposes by the users (airsoft and milsim players, as well as law-abiding gun owners) makes you small, petty and controlling. And frankly, control is not what you should be about.  It is what makes you a Zuckerschmuck. Stop it.  Grow up.

Merlin seems to be on the right track with his thoughts, too….as are a lot of other guys commenting on the ‘webz. We need to be the good guys, shining the foregrip-mounted light of fair play on the morons who are hurting our little game. Air Stupids. Bad Sports and both cheaters and cheater-callers.  Mark Z. included.

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...."

This lil’ ol’ thingy is what JET DESERT FOX does best…has a GOOD TIME and a few laughs while he gets VIRAL and right-to-the-point, even when he’s goofing around!

CLICK THAT PIC to see another side of the Fox-y one, over on his INSTAGRAM CHANNEL, as even HE doesn’t need ME to tell you he’s the king of YouTube!

MATT does a solid job of explaining how EVIKE is going to be handling customers purchases inside California…AND to those who are buying guns shipped FROM California, with special notice of the New York State-specific marking requirements.

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.

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!...

GOOD NEWS FROM THE LATEST LEGAL REVIEW and Recommendations, via MATT FUREY-KING and the UKAPU on their Facebook Page…CLICK THE BANNER ABOVE for the details…and the link below for the full report…

Our buddy Matt Furey-King puts some more perspective on the proposed AIR STUPID European Union ‘trial balloon’ being floated to have all airsofters register their replicas as if they were actual firearms or face criminal penalties…all in the name of fighting terrorism. 

AIRSOFTERS ARE NOT CRIMINALS and AIRSOFT IS NOT THE PROBLEM!…CLICK THE PIC or Matt’s link to the EAA Facebook Page for the full details and a STEP BY STEP list of things you need to do now to fight this!

Crossing the threshold of Thumpy's two areas of interests is this nugget that will be taken up by the city councilors in Bend this Wednesday night.  If you are a player or business guy in that area that supports as progressive move to improve airsoft's image...we'd urge you to get the info and be a body-in-the-seats at the meeting...

SERIOUS TIME, Serious “face” from Big Jay…as he tackles THE QUESTION…See what he’s got to say!

THE MORE I see from Massachusetts’ Gun Owners Action League – GOAL – the more I like these folks!  Nailing it on House Bill 3476 AND ALL 2nd Amendment Rights issues in the Commonwealth.

Now, how’bout you Bean Town guys support the politicians who support you?  D? I D-ON’T Think So… CLICK THE PIC to read the OpEd and to get onboard with the guys who are on OUR SIDE!

Crucial timing but a solid transition for the EAA….we know Matt, Joachim and the gang will continue their fight against burdensome regulations that threaten the game ‘over there’  and we are here to help them as they’ve done for all of us, too!

Jonathan’s got the serious look right here for good reason, as he shares a great update on the fight to CRUSH Massachusetts’ House Bill 3476, updates on  California’s implementation of SB 199, along with New York State’s color rules…and a ton of other important info on this week’s Monday’s show!

CLICK THAT BIG “NO BUTTON” in the PIC ABOVE to get a link directly to the Facebook Page leading the coordination effort and fight to save Airsoft in Mass…and in all of AMERICA, too!

I kinda feel real sadzorz for the guys at retailers and import places in California…as they have to spend an extra amount of their time to spin up customers on this silly law.  But, this is what happens when you let politicians write bad law, don’t crush it with vigilance, and then reap the consequences.

NOTE TO PLAYERS: We have already seen some of you morons…yea, calling you out but NOT sharing your insanity…putting neon tape on your REAL STEEL GUNS to “show those guys in Sacramento…” Show them what, exactly?  That you are stupid and want to get shot?  That you were so intelligent to figure this out?  Please.  Don’t make it worse than it already is.

‘199 Stupid is 199-percent DEAD WRONG!  TREAT, NEVER, KEEP, KEEP is in full force-and-effect still.  “Rule of 4 Stupids” is still the prevailing rule-of-the-street.   Keep all your guns in gun bags/cases/boxes. DO NOT GO OUT IN PUBLIC with any airsoft gun unless it is in a controlled situation. Ever.

A brand new look and new way to navigate to the LION CLAWS website, plus a streamlined SAFETY VIDEO ONLINE!  Man, lots of changes for the L.C. faithful this new year…CLICK on that map above to see the new website and watch the videos below, too!

Our Buddy MATT FUREY-KING’s face tells the story in this short video. NO ACTION to get your viewpoint out to your MEP – that’s your Member of European Parliament – or, seriously, a reclassification could NO LIE KILL AIRSOFT IN THE EU and BEYOND!  Listen to MFK’s short video below and CLICK THAT BANNER or his link to do your part to save Airsoft from the “Nuclear Option” that’s being proposed to kill your game!
