Banning the Red Ryder BB gun

Of course we had BB guns as kids. What country kid didn't? We had an aunt that for Christmas she would gift all her nephews with big long tubes and bags of Daisy BB's. Having come from the farm she knew what boys needed. We had a laugh about this a while back and she remembered that she used to put each of our names on the BB packages so there would be no fights over who they belonged to. My grandsons are not allowed to know what a BB gun even is. I hope I am around long enough that when they get out from under their mothers influence they can learn what a 30-06 is.
 
I still have mine from when I was a kid but it doesn't seem to #### so I will have to fix that but until then I will buy a new one for my son so he can have one when he is of age.
 
Actually if you read Bill C-21 under the replica section the prohibition only affects guns that have identical models that fire over 500fps. For example take a Sig 226 air. It's under 500fps but real ones fire over 500fps so it would be banned while the Sig MPX which fires at 700fps and is an exact copy of the Sig MPX centerfire rifle would not be banned. Makes no sense at all. Also it appears that the Red Ryder would not be affected as it doesn't have a twin that fires over 500fps. This whole thing is BS and everyone needs to contact Bill Blair and Trudeau and voice their displeasure. Make sure you point out, as I did, that in Japan, a country which has some the most stringent firearms laws in the world, airsoft is the only "firearm" discipline that is allowed owing of course to how safe it is.

Sure looks like a variant of the model 94.

The Bill refers to airguns that look exactly like a "real" firearm. While the Daisy is cocked with a lever, the airgun doesn't otherwise look even close to a 94, does it?

Airsoft guns that look exactly like the real McCoy in Canada are currently nearly impossible to distinguish, at least in a fleeting situation, from the real things. Perhaps they could be sold with the orange tips that are required on them in the US or with a certain area covered with orange, blue, or green as in the UK.

Mossberg 22 that looks nothing like an AK is a variant of the AK, the feds have never been reasonable.

You beat me to it. I thought about referencing that one in my post. Yup Glenn, I’m sure red plastic would make them happy....

I did the same sometime ago, however they're not like they used to be. Too many plastic parts and they break after only a few uses. Sad but true. It was the end of that era long ago when they started making them like s***.
