"...When Cleveland police shoot a 12-year-old within 4 seconds and then wait 4 minutes to render first-aid, it's time for the department to spend serious time reevaluating their recruiting, training and tactics...."

This will be the ONE IMAGE that captures the fate of Airsoft. It is a combination of all things wrong when your try to LEGISLATE and ENFORCE failed government policies.
What we think:
Airsoft is not a toy. Airsoft guns ARE GUNS. Toy guns that look like guns ARE GUNS. They should NEVER be in the hands of children without their parents/guardians present, and NEVER in a public setting like a park, playground, mall, SCHOOL or other un-controlled settings.
Orange Tips won't solved the problem.
More training for LEO's and armed citizens might...but only to the extent that airsoft can be kept out of the hands of people who will misuse it.
We will always be rough on those who don't use due-diligence in securing their guns, keeping them from minors and not displaying them to a wary public before, during or after they are sold.
Selling off-the-shelf needs to stop. Over the counter, to responsible adults only, and with warnings from responsible professionals at the time of sale.
