We came dangerously close to loosing our ability to carry powder burners in the common areas where I live (restaurants, pavilions, exercise facilities etc. due to a few bozos open carrying and cleaning guns in public areas.
Many people here are from states where the mention of gun strikes fear in their hearts. They petitioned our Property Owners Association to put up "No Guns" signs and those signs carry the weight of the law here in Tennessee. Only a massive outcry prevented this from happening.
Soooooooooooo, anyone who thinks that air gun videos and posts don't carry any weight or think that fighting for our rights nationally will get us anywhere had best take a good look into the state of affairs going on in our country now and maybe reconsider.
We should be as quiet about our air guns as we would like them to be when shot.
 
You can mostly tell where people live based on their replies. Those of us who live in states heavily restricted by the whims of those in charge, and I think we all know to which group they belong, are used to constantly looking over our shoulders to see what new and stupid law is coming down the pike. Conversely, those who live in states controlled by lawmakers who believe in freedom, will more than likely be apt to dismiss the worries of their compatriots behind enemy lines. Of course nothing is absolute, and people have their own opinions regardless of where they live, but this is simply an observation I’ve made throughout the years.

I agree completely, but where I’m coming from is a much bigger issue than rules and regulations, or California vs Oklahoma. We’re looking at global food shortages, diesel prices skyrocketing, well on our way to hyperinflation, possible race war, and likely a war war. The list goes on and I’m sure everyone on here can add to it. Airgun regulations just isn’t the hill I’m planting my flag on.
 
I am more worried at the local level. I live in a small town in TX and we have a law that your dog has to be neutered or spayed if they are not a breeding dog. I know that law was created because of irresponsible dog owners.

I don't want to not be able to legally step into my backyard and fire my airgun. Having to travel to shoot or needing to move to enjoy my property worries me.

I just keep my fingers crossed that those who own an airgun, be it 12 or 400 foot pound, will be responsible to keep an authoritarian local government focused on real issues.

Just my 2 cents.
 
Ahhh, to live in a constant state of paranoia forcasting future events that no one can even come close to predict.

Go out enjoy your airguns and make the most of everyday, there's so much bigger fish to fry out there before Airguns can even get on the radar,.....they can't even get together in regulating assault weapons.

Cannot even make the comparison with a country like the UK, they can't even bowhunt there and to get a firearm is extremely difficult and after you get it you have tons of regulations to abite too, so forcasting that our airguns will go the British way is wayyyyyy off :)

Not sure if there’s sarcasm in there, I’ll give my opinion as if there wasn’t.
I wish I could answer that, and I don’t think we can. We were tricked like so many other societies have been, the only thing I can think to do is try to be as prepared for anything as possible. Instead of spending time worrying about what’s going on in the world reality show, I started studying up on homesteading type information. It’s actually very interesting and easy for me to want to learn it.
 
Apparently I got an edit from the mod for some reason or another.

I wasn't trying to be divisive or negative nor was I disagreeing with OP. I apologize for ruffling feathers.

Been an air gunner since 2015, albeit I've been out of the hobby for a bit, I'm currently partaking so I obviously don't want to see anything happen with our sport. I support and will continue to support what we do.
 
Haven't watched the video... But the dired warnings on legal consequences because some politicos might want to legislate? Are overblown to put it mildly. There are so many more political issues at the fore. When all those issues are solved?🙄 Then maybe they (that word again), will come regulate our hobby? We all understand that airgun usage IS regulated in many US States already. So a big, non issue for me and I suspect also for many politicians. I for one know that on a personal level. Airguns are not the most important things in my life... Lots of other things come first.

I agree with you Frank. This isn't the first time he's over emphasized the power of airguns. To me it's a lack of respect for this field and those of us that don't want unneeded psychopath politician's attention. Showing his following the power of airguns coupled with one incident of a child getting killed by one is a definite recipe for disaster. Anyone that thinks airguns can't be banned or strict laws laid on them are being naive. These guns have a serious ability to take a life therefore given the right circumstances they can be viewed the same as the powder burners that the present criminal administration wants to ban.

If you think I'm nuts just look what happened in California. The supreme (I use that term loosely) court supported looser rules to carry a gun. Immediately the AG's office posted the names, numbers and addresses of every registered gun owner and licensed individual. We're not living in a game, they're getting serious and playing for keeps.

Banning all guns regardless of type is the agenda. America is the last individually armed nation. Over the last 5 decades 60 million ppl were killed either a few weeks after or a yr after each country banned guns 'for the safety of the citizens'. Just as AR's aren't the problem the gov't and media use that gun to build fear to support banning 'all guns'. If they're so trivial that we need not think about this then why is 12 ft pounds the highest power the UK allows.
 
@Rickrick, this is the USA not the UK. Let’s keep that perspective. We have a strong US Constitution and States Rights. Not a simple matter...
I totally understand that's how you're seeing things at the moment, but it's not going to be much longer before you're questioning your beliefs. Neither of us will need to debate any of this, it's going to be more than obvious in the coming months.
 
@Rickrick, not based on my beliefs, but on law, and what’s written in the Constitution. Though many worry, myself included about the absurdities of the left. The arc of the left is done. They have been on the ascent since the 60s. The pendulum is swinging back towards the center. Conservatism is coming back... be of good faith.

We've all been programmed to believe only what the paid actors in the news tell us to believe so we stay continually blinded to the reality that we aren't as free as we think we are.
When ppl from the avg person to the most powerful person in the country are banned and censored from 'social media' for saying the 'wrong thing' we're not free. When world renowned doctors and scientists are banned and their license are threatened to be taken away because they don't follow the narrative that has zero data backing it, we're not free. When supporting our families hangs upon the decision to either take an experimental drug or lose our job, we're not free. When we're forced to do things when there is no proof to support the force, we're not free. When we're constantly having to fight for our rights to arm ourselves, we're not free. When the average law abiding citizen is easily arrested but groups like antifa and blm riot, harm, kill, break the law, steal and burn then are released when arrested, we're not free. When an attorney general's office can post my name, phone number and address showing I carry a gun and is not punished for it, we're not free. When politicians constantly break the law and aren't held accountable, we're not free. When politicians send billions over seas while their own citizens suffer, we're not free. I can go on and on with hours of examples.

Our constitution is constantly trampled on and constantly being ignored by our law makers.
The main thing to remember is that there really isn't a thing called 'freedom'. We have liberties given to us by our forefathers and they're slowly and surely being taken away. True freedom isn't about being 'free', it's about being civil, following rules and living with respect for one another, and those are what our 'leaders' have removed from our lives. Don't kid yourselves, what you think can't happen here, has been taking place for the last few decades, nice and slow, and that's why some of us don't see it.
 
I'm not worried about airguns getting banned. I'm worried about them requiring a background check. I'm not a felon, I have nothing to worry about really. Not being able to order from places like Krale or even Pyramydair as easily will be my biggest problem. Not everyone will be that lucky. Those who freely enjoy the hobby while having a felony on their records (as minor as it may be) will likely be SOL.
 
This is a global issue we're dealing with, being run by global decision makers. Lincoln saw what they were, tried to make America reliant on it's own money, the global entities removed him. The same for Kennedy, he saw what was going on, decided to back the dollar with silver certificates, one week later he was removed and the silver certificate was removed. The 3 wealthiest men in America refused to accept a central bank. They went down to the bottom of the ocean,1 yr later in 1913 the federal reserve was created. Every country but 3 has a Rothchild run central bank, all central banks answer to one main bank, the BIS.
Odd conicidence that every country that ever refused to give in to accepting a central bank had a major war and shortly after a central bank came in. Iraq refused to give their bank over, we invaded, and viola, a Rothchild central bank shows up.
You can do your own research and you'll find that any country that ever tried getting away from using the petrodollar quickly had a new leader installed.

You're only seeing the surface, the parts you were taught in school, the parts the news tells you to believe but far from the reality of what is going on.
I know you have the ideas they taught you of why we went from a gold backed dollar by Nixon and started a 'fiat' currency system where we could litterally 'print' unlimited paper which is now worthless, it was a plan, not a conspiracy. I also know you won't believe me when I tell you America has lost world reserve currency status but you're about to be shown on a global scale. The Only reason we had it this long is due to the petrodollar which came from an agreement with Saudi Arabia, if they would agree to sell oil strictly in dollars we'll protect them. That contract has been broken and Saudi has now made the same deal with Russia, completely burying the dollars strength.

If you haven't noticed, the world is now dividing into two financial systems, our antiquated Swift system and China's more advanced cip system. Russia has defaulted on it's loan to us, they're bringing gold back into the financial game (why do you think the G7 just banned Russian gold imports).

This is a global financial control game, Russia, China, Brazil, India, South Africa aren't playing the corrupt game anymore. Others are joining them.
If we aren't in WW3 by end of year I'll be surprised. Nato just announced they're going from 40K to 300K troops on high alert, the top general running the Uk part just stated even civilians will be called upon to help shed blood. As soon as Russia moves to take out the illegal blockade Lithuania was forced to do against Russia, every nato country has been ordered to attack Russia, if Russia doesn't make a military move then I'm confident a 'false flag' will take place in more than likely here in America which Russia will be blamed for and the 30 nato countries will be called into action.

You're going to have to open your mind and understand, what you believe to be, isn't the way you think it is.
