“….Among the items recovered in a raid of an abandoned warehouse, around the middle of this month, were explosives such as triacetone triperoxide, syringes, masks, several airsoft rifles, paraphernalia from government opposition groups, and a lone desktop 3D printer. Authorities are now investigating whether or not the group had intended to modify the airsoft rifles, perhaps using components fabricated on the 3D printer, to make them lethal….”

"Earlier this month, headlines screamed the news that Ohio Rep. Bill Patmon (D-Cleveland) had introduced a bill that seeks to ban "any BB gun or gun replica that a 'reasonable person' would confuse with a real firearm....""
Thumpy Covey's insight:
But, did reporters read the bills? NO! And it is up to gun-rights organizations like the BFA - nice! - to dive into the details. We will add a few airsoft-specific comments to the excellent article you will read: The chances of any of these bills passing is minute, but Airsoft is again thrown under-the-bus by Paintball and Air Guns...or, its the old divide-and-conquer by lawmakers in Ohio, as it was in California. AND, notice the wording carefully...its almost identical in definitions and phrasing to Cali's SB199...wonder if plagiarizing legislation state to state is a no-no amongst anti-gunner law "breakers." GREAT VIDEO AT THE END, TOO....pass this one on to your battle buddies as one to get everyone up to speed!

If this story from 3D Print.com is extrapolating the data from the recent arrests in Hong Kong, there is a possibility that suspected/arrested “terrorists” were going high-tech in an effort to turn easily-available airsoft or pellet/metal bb guns into either real firearms or lethal powered “guns.”
We were tracking on the arrests but did not pass on news, as the only apparent airsoft tie-in was some of the guns confiscated…and the fact that the scene of the alleged plot was also a A.O. for some HK airsoft events and film projects. Still….one wonders if this article and fallout from the “plot” might fall in a negative way on the Hong Kong airsoft in industry. And if it does, that could negatively impact ALL of airsoft around the world…
