BB gun shot at joggers

I caught the tail end of the report and the way they described the wounds sound more like they came from an airsoft gun then a bb gun.

Just heard the report....... This won't be good at all if those idiots get caught mainly if the guns are Replicas such as Airsoft Guns.

Does everyone see why I hate Fox News?

I'm mad at those morons who did the shooting and would have more to say but Fox News has once again left me speechless.

In another time, weapons safety would have come as common sense. The times sure have changed when you're afraid to go out for fear of being shot at. Terrible.

Also, firefighter, I agree with you about Fox News. A little accuracy would be nice and maybe a little less bias.

That's not Fox News. That's the local Fox station. Big difference.

You need to understand that airsoft guns aren't arms. They can take your airsoft gun away if they want to, because t's not a fire-arm, it's just a toy.

Airsoft != Real guns.

Second amendment only covers real guns, man. An Airsoft gun is not a firearm, and therefore fair game for lawmakers under the constitution.

actually the second amendment says that you have the right to bear arms. It doesnt say they have to be deadly. accoriding to m-w the definition of weapon or arms in this case is : something (as a club, knife, or gun) used to injure, defeat, or destroy. Injure.... the people in this case were injured by a weapon therefore airsoft guns are weapons or arms.... meaning we have the right to bear arms/weapons... airsoft guns. Every manual you get with an airsoft gun specifically says this is not a toy be careful, something along those lines. I understand how these kids could get their guns taken away but how could I. I am not violating the law by having it at my house. I didnt shoot those people and since this is a democratic-republic they can't take things away from you out of suspition you will do something. You need to have a justifiable reason.

By your logic a toaster could be defined as a weapon.

States and the Federal Government have very strict definitions of "arms". Airsoft doesn't fit the legal definition, so it's not protected by the Second Amendment.

If I'm correct isn't it considered to be a toy? Correct me if I'm wrong but still you should not treat them as toys, you should treat them as real firearms at all times.

They are toys that look exactly like real firearms. As such, they should be handled like real firearms.

The law still says they aren't firearms.

A firearm is a device, often designed to be used as a weapon, which projects either single or multiple projectiles at high velocity through a controlled explosion.
Quote:
Airsoft guns are highly detailed firearm replicas manufactured for recreational purposes. Airsoft guns propel non-metallic 6mm pellets at muzzle velocities ranging from 100 to 500 ft/s by way of compressed gas or a spring-driven piston. Depending on the mechanism driving the spring, an airsoft gun can be driven by an electric motor or manually operated.
The two are worlds apart. Airsoft would never be considered as part of the second amendment.

However, like Lou said. They should never be treated as toys, due to their tendency to be replicas.
