FOX news attacks airsoft

its so funny cause they are holding the guns wrong. you need should have the safety on and keep the magazine out of the gun and fingers off the triggers. fox news is gay. i think they are mad at these guns cause they tried to play airsoft and they completely sucked at it. well thats just my opinion.

They should play airsoft just to see how fun it is. If they still dont like it, than they can still look at two different sides of airsoft. Yes, there are complete idiots, but there are many people who find it a sport.

Relax people (specifically Zakk), it's just a small story that is taking a more opinionated approach. This is a perfect example of WHY you need to act responsibly. Cause people will always be there to twist it as much as possible.

"Who is buying these?"... why, it's Elves, ma'am. Santa can get uppidty. Needs a MP5 in the face every once in a while. 12 to 15 pounds? Ma'am... the scale in your bathroom must be very cruel to you.

Yea, I saw that. They were right about people being stupid in public and all, but what made them look stupid to anyone in the world who knows anything about gun safety is that they are pointing them all over with the magazines in, their fingers on the trigger, and the safetys off. They are so stupid it is almost unimagineable. And I also love how we are the market who pays to be fake bank robbers =) They really need to just shut up.[/rant]

They have no sense for weight. That is not 15 pounds. I have never liked the media to begin with, but this "feeds the fire" of my hate for them. Plus, how can you tell it sounds like a real gun by dropping it on a table?

I guess putting a black tip on the end of the gun automatically makes you a "bad guy". These people dont know a thing about the sport, why should they be the ones to judge if its good or bad?

What I love is how in the beginning he says the MP5 is a real gun. Listen carefully. And you all are right, mags in, safety off, and finger on the trigger. That guy studdered to much.

i have a very differnt feeling...
all bad guys should be supplied with fake guns, if you plan to hold up a bank or a liquor store or your high school it'd be great if you cant actualy shoot back when the cops come
to kill you! bad people are going to do bad things regardless if they are dumb enough to
render themselves helpless...well bonus for the good guys. (dont give replicas to children...stupid)

It may be Faux News, for whom journalist method is outweighed by the lipgloss on their vapid blond talking heads, but remember, they command a very large viewership who pride themselves on being uninformed.

Hmm. I would have guessed dwarves, but that's me.

I hate seeing stuff like this. And I especially hate that blond anchorwoman for asking one of the stupidest airsoft questions ever.
