A airsoft license

I was reading through some other forums and such and found this comment. Now I'm sure everyone has already thought of it, but it isn't a bad idea.

This is what he said;
I think a new form of weapons licence should be put in place for thses types of non-lethal recreational guns. This would mean that both people underage and or with a criminal record would not be allowed to purchase or use them. I personally would not like to see kids with these things on the streets but i think for people 18+ using them for sports would be a great thing.

I think he is right on the money. I mean it would be a pain for me, but if you love something you'll wait i guess so yeah.
Tell me what you think,

i get my kiks from shooting real steel at argyle pistol club, they let me use bolt action or single action airsoft guns yes plastic pellet shooting airsoft guns just to have a muk around training i was permited to take it home for a week to train but i had strict conditions best week of my life

Obzy, i think that is what will probably end up happening. But by the time any laws change you will well and truly be over 18. It's not going to happen in a few months. Subjects like these (anything gun related) are frowned upon in Australia due to all the dickheads in the past that have used them in the wrong way. With the up coming elections, no politions will even want to even touch on the subject of a gun because they will get a negative ratings by the public. Even if it is a good, safe idea. Politition + Airsoft =..........

You raise a good point marty and ozby, but my opinion the age should be 16 not 18 because not every 16 year old has to suffer the stareotype of teen hood, like alot of us are decently mature.
