[9th]

My vote: Anti-Airsoft!

A toy(special airgun of IRR Circ 11) now classified as a Real Gun under this HB.
Could be different fees for the registration but violation fees or charges is the same.
Of course we don't want to commit any violation but accident happen anytime.

i think this poll will mislead more people.

may i suggest changing the poll to:

Airsoft Gun = real firearms VS Airsoft Gun = toys

i believe HB6658 is not anti-airsoft because i find nothing in it that prohibits airsoft in entirety. what it does is provide for a regulation, which is absurd and very much flawed when applied to airsoft toys.

what we should be fighting for is the exclusion of airsoft toys in the HB. we should site grounds based on international & common definition of airsoft, applications, implications and non-lethality of airsoft toys.

however, i found some light in the HB, Section 1 states:

- xxx "The term (firearm) also includes air, gas or spring operated pistols or rifles not classified as toys by the PNP in coordination with the DTI." xxx-

so the PNP and DTI has the authority to label Airsoft Guns as toys. If they do classify them as such, then airsoft guns would not be a part of HB6658.

that is why we have to voice out that indeed what we have are just toys, but ofcourse subject to regulations that would fit it.

: i was enraged with what happened on another thread. some people are really a$$holes... well, bobo kac kaya nang-aasar na lng... patago pa! yun lng kaya nila e.
