It is a knee-jerk law, most likely spurred on by MAG, complete with propaganda films.
The bill is desgined to tackle the increasing amount of springers that are sold to people underage on local markets. These are not weapons that are used in the sport of airsoft, infact an airsofter wouldn't be seen dead with a springer!
But as usual the goverment has elected for a total ban instead of proper legislation because it would "cost too much". This penalises the common man, taking away our liberties. And that is why I will fight the VCR in it's current state to the last breath!
