“The law commission has today published its report on firearms which you can read here; There’s a good chance it will be put into law, as this is the case with law commission reports generally. From our perspective the most interesting parts are that they state that the lethality threshold should be set to 1J, but that an airsoft exemption should be created (based around the VCRA 2006 specific exemption). They recommend setting this exemption at 1.3J/2.5J in line with the 2011 ACPO testing. This is great news. Sensible conclusions, no more ‘airsoft legal limit’ grey areas, and they’ve listened to the airsoft associations. Also note that we were supported by BASC and GTA….Matt Furey-King, Chairman UK Airsoft Players Union…”

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!

“…Four men fled from Trojan Airsoft, on Viaduct Street, central Stockport, on Tuesday shortly after midnight. They were disturbed by a member of staff and jumped into the River Mersey near King Street Bridge sparking a police hunt with dogs and a helicopter….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
GOOD NEWS is that the quartet of would-be break-in artists got away with ZERO…and apparently got away wet, or may have not made it, based on the dangerous route they took….

AIR STUPID UK: Shoot an ARMED COP IN THE FACE, get 3 months for the assault, 5 YEARS for the gun? - FACEBOOK
Thumpy Covey's insight:
THANKS to our buddy, the always awesome MATT FUREY-KING for passing this one along. There is DEFO something wrong when the officer and her command think this is an appropriate sentence…should have been much, MUCH more time in the ‘jolly old gaol’ for this AIR STUPID! – READ IT ALL>..CLICK THE PIC! “….Saul Whitaker, of The Crescent, Andover, was sentenced to five years in prison for possession of an imitation firearm, 18 months for dangerous driving and three months for assault at Winchester Crown Court on March 20. Mr Apter added: “I want to thank the judge for recognising that police officers deserved to be protected from those who wished them harm and I hope that every day Whittaker spends in jail he contemplates his actions….”
