Thumpy Covey's insight:
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!

Thumpy Covey's insight:
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.

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!...

"...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?"

"Sen. Barbara Boxer, a Democrat, already asked the Consumer Product Safety Commission to require bright paint or fluorescent strips on airsoft guns, the kind that 12-year-old Tamir had. But the safety agency lacks power to make the requirement cover B.B. guns or similar toys, Boxer said.
Thumpy Covey's insight:
California nonsense transferred by Anti-gun Senator Boxer to the halls of Congress. This has now become a NATIONAL FIGHT, Airsofters....Players, Industry, Sites and Games...we all need to pull together with a strong voice!

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:
Wow...this is just too unbelievable for words, and gets even stranger when Anti-Gunner Barbara Boxer's proposed bill EXCLUDES SOME GUNS, namely PAINTBALL GUNS! What? If you want to kill all guns, Senator, include ALL. GUNS....read the proposed legislation...and let your blood boil once again, this time, all across the fruited plain and purple mountains majesty, too!

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...."
