"...Newly introduced legislation in the Ohio House would prohibit the manufacture, sale, or public display of toy guns designed to look like the real thing...." ""It's either a gun or it's not," (Democratic state Rep. Bill) Patmon said in an interview...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Here is the coverage of Ohio's House Bill 119...the latest attempt to regulate "toy guns." Only, just like PAINTBALL AND BB/PELLET GUNS...AIRSOFT ARE NOT TOYS, and should never be classified with toys!

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!
