I grew up in the US too...your point? And you might want to take a look around the people that play airsoft in the US...I have and although sometimes it doesn't impress me much, there's very little we can do.
And I don't think hiding your airsoft rifle under your sock drawer is the best place to put it
And here's another point - growing up somewhere doesn't mean fuck all about your knowledge of the law...plenty of people grow up here in Canada yet are unaware or fuzzy on plenty of laws...just a thought.
