Quote from bshantz on JOC "IMO, law enforcement and military are the true idols and heros of this nation.
It's ironic that those who need protecting are the ones who are protesting."
Quote from Battalia on JOC "If you decide to take your life into your own hands and threaten others with a fake or real gun, that's your choice, but the law states that any gun, real or fake, will be treated as a real gun. That leaves no room to criticize our police and military for doing the right thing. You want to wave guns in public? go live somewhere else."
I don't think anything else could be more offensive then blaming police for acting defensively when a gun is pointed at them. Can you honestly imagine a cop being aimed at with an airsoft gun from some kid and have the cop say "oh it's not real" and then be shot dead? Be realistic, airsoft guns should be treated exactly as real weapons.

Treated like real weapons, but not subject to the ludicrous, convoluted system Canada has in place for gun registry.
I'm pretty sure Brian knows that Airsoft weapons should be treated like real weapons. I'm also pretty sure he's not bashing the law enforment community, just stating that most people, civilians or law enforcement, have no idea what an Airsoft gun is, which is a huge problem. If a police officer were to raid the house of an airsoft player, and find his weapons, he is going to have to deal with a lot of hassle; regardless if he is breaking any laws or not.
