    Default Need a little help for a petition / Another government stupidity related to Airsoft

    It may seem trivial, but it's another attack on the very idea of a gun.

    S213: "Look-Alike Weapons Safety Act of 2015.

    In general
    Except as provided in paragraph (2), each toy firearm, look-alike firearm, or imitation firearm shall be marked or manufactured, or both, so that the coloration of the entire exterior surface of the toy firearm, look-alike firearm, or imitation firearm—(A)is white, bright red, bright orange, bright yellow, bright green, bright blue, bright pink, or bright purple, either individually or as the predominant color in combination with any other color in any pattern; and(B)is permanent.

    That is not going to help much especially since a criminal can paint their gun to look fake, they have already been caught painting the tip. Once again law makers not thinking things through.

    This is probably to prevent more instances of cops shooting kids, but still unnecessary.

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette

    A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
