FIGHT THE DEATH OF AIRSOFT IN THE USA - Facebook Page to SHARE NOW!
Thumpy Covey's insight:
This looks to-be THE place that will be coordinating the fight to SAVE AIRSOFT in Massachusetts….and it will be both a fight and, if it fails, the DEATH of airsoft as game in Mass., as well as a harbinger of anti-Airsoft legislation across the country. That is not hype. If we ALL do not get behind CRUSHING this bill, Airsoft in the USA has a roadmap for destruction. California was just the beginning. Massachusetts H-3476 is the bitter end. SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE, Sign the petitions as a start…and stand by for the call-to-arms to save our game. THUMPY….OVER!

“This year the campaign will also focus on imitation weapons, BB guns and air weapons, and the potential for these items to be mistaken for genuine weapons. A social media campaign will highlight how realistic imitation firearms can appear – even to the highly-trained eye of a firearms officer – and the dangers faced by anyone carrying such an item in an inappropriate setting. This will include a number of tweets beginning Monday 23 November with images of guns giving people #secondstodecidewhether the guns posted are real or fake….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Saw this one over on the always-reliable AIRSOFT INTERNATIONAL FB Fan Channel…and wondered what ‘Softers around the world say about any attempt to combat terrorism by such a wrong-headed official idea as this. True…all of us have different levels of ‘official-dumb’ to navigate in our quest for BB warz…but, come on. Do we let the terrorists win? Another link with commentary, via UK Shooting News WP Page: LINK HERE CLICK THE PIC for the official link to the Met’s ‘campaign”…and LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS HERE for us to share…

Thumpy Covey's insight:
HERE THEY ARE! First views of the very first LICENSED Glock Airsoft Pistols, shown this week at the MILIPOL Show in Paris. AS THUMPY REPORTED earlier, Cybergun and SIE announced a contract for MILITARY/LEO Glock training airsoft pistols last month, and the timing with the huge Francophone Mil/LE show and the Paris terror attacks surely made for a very busy sales floor! See more views and information on the SPARTAN IMPORTS EUROPE Facebook page, as well as details from the show via CYBERGUN!…CLICK THE PICS for the links!

“IT’S NOT ALWAYS EASY TO TELL: This past weekend, we got called out to a report of two men with guns outside an elementary school. We arrived and spotted one person with a black handgun. He held tight to the gun and jumped behind a brick column when he spotted us. Then, we saw the other person, standing father back with two guns at his feet.

“Hi all,
Thumpy Covey's insight:
We got a Ping from the Henry River Recon guys about this break-in and theft from their ‘team site” and we can only encourage anyone and everyone to be-on-the-lookout for these guns and gear…. HRR are some solid, great players and good guys who need everyone’s help to bust the scum-buckets behind this! PING THIS LINK for the HRR E-Mail!: ballisticload@yahoo.com

"This TOTB took some restraint and self-introspective thought. TL;DR? – We think Facebook is wrong, but they have a right to be wrong. And we have rights, too. See this quote in the collage above?..."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
RESPECT is a two-way street, a broad avenue that you not only can drive up and down in your cheap little VW, “sporty” Acura or big, expensive Pagani Huayra…but from time to time, you might have to walk ACROSS that road with the rest of us “pedestrians.” That’s when you discover that the road you pave does not stop at the end of your own driveway, even at 1 Hacker Way. Writing All Lives Matter doesn’t make someone a racist. It makes them race-agnostic. Banning the use of your products (Facebook/Instagram…) for lawful purposes by the users (airsoft and milsim players, as well as law-abiding gun owners) makes you small, petty and controlling. And frankly, control is not what you should be about. It is what makes you a Zuckerschmuck. Stop it. Grow up. Merlin seems to be on the right track with his thoughts, too….as are a lot of other guys commenting on the ‘webz. We need to be the good guys, shining the foregrip-mounted light of fair play on the morons who are hurting our little game. Air Stupids. Bad Sports and both cheaters and cheater-callers. Mark Z. included.

“Massachusetts Bill H-3476: What it is it and why should you care if you don’t live in MA? -Oh yeah, and my new puppy knocking over stuff at the end of the video… Sorry about that, lol.
Thumpy Covey's insight:
CLICK THE PIC RIGHT NOW to SEE and SHARE the video from SISU MILSIM, which explains the true nationwide threat of Massachusetts House Bill 3476 and LINKS TO THE SITE on Facebook where ‘Softers and MilSim gals and guys can go for the best information on KILLING THIS THING DEAD! GREAT JOB by Sisu…and you also need to start following her ‘gang of killer teddys as they rampage acrosss the USA the way our hobby/sport/game should be enjoyed!

ALERT FOR EU 'SOFTERS - ACT NOW! FIGHT NOW!
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Our Buddy SLICK AXE over at NL Airsoft is sounding the alarm on one of the most AIR STUPID regulations we’ve ever heard of. CLICK THE PIC to read the full details and get links for your official comments to be registered with the European Union…but in a nut-shell a proposal has been pushed forward to REQUIRE COMPULSORY REGISTRATION OF AIRSOFT GUNS AS FIREARMS! Seriously. Is this the best you can do EU at a time of crisis? If I was in Europe, I’d be seriously pissed even if I was not an airsofter…but you guys who have the RIGHT to play need to stand up now for ALL YOUR RIGHTS! AIRSOFTERS ARE NOT CRIMINALS…and they don’t need to be made into criminals at a time when resources are stretched so thin to take the wolves out of the midst of law-abiding people around the world! DO. THIS. NOW! To stay up on the latest in this fight, you can also FOLLOW NL AIRSOFT’s FB FAN PAGE for threads discussing the tactics for this fight, too! And it won’t hurt in the least to share this around the globe, too!

FANTASTIC Profile of “Devildog” Jeff Takeda from PTS…but an even better sales and awareness tool for the real-steel/LEO/dot-MIL community for getting the word out on AIRSOFT as a serious training tool!

“Spending some time at the fire range shooting air soft and learning about gun safety in the Teen Academy. Beautiful morning to be outdoors with a great group….”
Thumpy Covey's insight:
LOVE THIS! So glad to see departments big and not-so-big using AIRSOFT as a training tool for officers, and for the next group of potential American heroes, too! BELLEVUE Nebraska’s PD is doing it right! Let them know you think so, too….over at their Facebook Page, with some LIKES! Just CLICK THE PICS!

Post by TheWarriorBlog. "Another good warning story. Two police officers were hurt while trying to track down a man that was flagging a police chopper with the laser attached to an airsoft M4. DON'T EVER POINT THOSE LASERS INTO THE SKY!!!!!..."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Warrior Blog has the details via The Bee...now this dude royally screwed up! AIR STUPIDS are not always about the dummies involved...other consequences far beyond those ever imagined can happen, and change lives forever!

Come on Balt O. Srsly? The fallout breaks down like this; 7 shooting by LEO’s so far this year, 3 in the past week. BB Gun kid shot by plain-clothes officers survives but will NOT BE CHARGED much less prosecuted for the myriad laws he allegedly broke. But, immediately….what happens? LETS BAN THE GUNS. Plastic, Polymer, Steel, Real, Fake, Airsoft/BB/Pellet or Bullets…
Come on Balto. Are you SERIOUS? This sets the stage for more police, facing down more kids with guns. (SEARCH IT…many Baltmore Sun op-ed writers agree!)
Oh, BTW, see THIS LITTLE DITTY missed in the tie-in coverage?…another teen, another gun. This one LOADED with more than bb’s CLICK THE PIC…
Come. On. BALTO!
