The Danger of Airsoft Pistol Hand Gun
November 21st, 2010
Masni Rizal Mansor asked:
While the airsoft pistol hand gun is a popular form of the airsoft gun, there are those who wish to make it decidedly unpopular by making them illegal. Now, there is not serious political movement looking to ban the airsoft pistol hand gun, although there are those critics out there who would wish to see the airsoft pistol hand gun wiped off the map – and wiped off the map in a rather swift fashion.
The Motivations of the Anti-Airsoft Gun Movement
The motivations are not always clear, but the most common complaint is that these types of guns will de-emphasize the violence associated with weapons and end up encouraging violent behavior. This is, of course, a theory and as a theory is not viable for changing the law on its on face value. This argument will never work because it lacks any empirical evidence supporting the fact that the airsoft pistol hand gun does not psychologically gear someone towards violent behavior.
The other argument is that people will use the airsoft handgun pistol as a weapon for use in the commission of a crime. This is a very valid concern, but not one that will provide the basis for banning the guns. It does provide the basis for the identifying orange muzzle that federal law requires, a reasonable request that, ironically, has its critics as well. The orange muzzle does an adequate job, if not perfect job in distinguishing a replica gun, so this law works well.
As things stand now, the airsoft pistol hand gun is safe and does not look like it will be banned anytime soon. There will always be those people that will try and impose an ideology on others even when the ideology is not based in any fact. Never let the truths get in the way of a motivating factor. As things are now, one will not have to surrender one’s airsoft pistol hand gun, so do not get angry or upset if one brings up the subject, because it is not based on facts.
