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!

Thumpy Covey's insight:
Other Airsoft companies are also going to be in Music City for the biggest NRA event ever! SUPPOR THEM AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, and get the NRA to see what they already know...airsoft is a "shooting sport" and should get the full support of the 2A Community!

Thumpy Covey's insight:
Airsoft is back in an American legislative body, but this AIR SMART measure might just set some ground-rules for positive use of airguns on local school campuses across the USA. Kansas House Bill 2468 is proposed by Representative Blake Carpenter (R-District 81), and passed a 91-27 floor vote in March, and will be brought back into session in the Senate next week. (April 27th, 2016)
The bill as amended, would "make changes to the Weapons Free School Act by prohibiting school districts from adopting policies preventing organizations from conducting activities on school property solely because the activities involve the possession and use of air guns."
"Under the bill, school districts could prohibit the possession of air guns at a school, on school property, or at a school-supervised activity except when a pupil is participating in activities conducted by an organization or is in transit to or from such activities. School districts could not implement policies that prohibit the possession of an air gun by a pupil on school property if the pupil is a participant in the activities of an organization."
A local school shut down a shooting sports program in spite of a 30-plus year safety record far exceeding other big high school sports such as football, soccer, basketball and volleyball. That's when Carpenter stepped up with the proposal and safeguards to allow use of BB, pellet and airsoft guns on campus under close supervision of organizations for athletic or safety training purposes.
THUMPY's NEWS contacted Representative Carpenter Thursday for an update.
"I managed to get HB2468 into SB65. Hopefully, when we get back the Senate and House will do a conference committee on SB65. They should keep HB2468 inside SB65 and once they pass it out of the committee it will go before both chambers for a yes or no vote. I believe that it has a good opportunity to pass both chambers."
We'll stay on top of this, but urge you supporters in Kansas, or across the Airsoft Fruited Plain' to get in touch with Representative Carpenter to cheer him on with your backing! CLICK THAT PIC ABOVE to follow Blake's post via Facebook, too!

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.
