"Good reason"
Politicans. Couldnt tell the truth if their lives depended on it. Take Hazel Blears for example. I quote from a recent letter to the ABA:
"I have to say I am not persuaded that the tactical and other skills you referred to cannot be developed using imitation firearms that are distinguishable from the real thing."
So Blears. Did you listen to a word said to you? I think not. You're mind was already made up that you needed a "sacrifically lamb" to keep the Anti's happy. And we - Airsofters - are it. Well, I've got news for you Blears. it's not going to work. Why? well, the criminal element will still be able to get hold of 6 ft/lb BB guns that look like real-deal firearms. De-acs will still be available (and yes, some have been converted to fire real ammunition and then used to carry out some quite heinous crimes). Its pure "headline grabbing" crap for the red-top press. Will it actually make a dent in the crime stats. No. In fact, id actually place a bet that within 12 months or the VCR bill being enacted, the stats will be higher than ever. So what will you do then? Oh yes, time to look for another scapegoat. What will you do once you've banned anything that looks like a firearm be it real, replica, made of chesse of whatever?. Will you admit that EVERYTHING you have done has been to no avail? will you hell. You'll have kissed enough rectums by then to be sitting in the House of Lords.
So what should you be doing then?
1: Licence retailers of De-acs, Airsoft and anything that looks like a gun.
2: STRICTLY enforce age limits for purchase of such items.
3: Make parents legally liable for anything their offspring do with a "replica/de-acc/whatever"
4: Bring in severe penalties for misuse of such items - and make damn sure the judiciary hand down heavy sentences for such behaviour.
It's about time you realised that it is the person who commits the crime, not the tool. A gun is an inanimate object until picked up and misused - no matter whether its real or not. But that would be too hard to deal with. It would take time. It would take money. It would take plod away from sitting behind speed cameras making a juicy little profit.
Blears, you are the epitomy of what politics has dropped to nowadays. Knee jerk reactions, nepotism (im pretty damn sure that Bob Marshall-Andrews stuck his oar in on replicas), an inability to agree with the results of your own enquiries, consulation documents and other such research. And politicians wonder why they are hated by so much of the population?
"New Labour. New incompetence"
*NB. Regular readers. You may be wondering whats happened to my usual level of erm.........."language". Simple answer is this. When im really pissed off i stop swearing. Right before the moment I lose my temper...
