Airsoft law.
Guys is there anyway I can help make it easier to get airsoft guns in Canada?
I would also like to read the papers put forward in the FAQ are they on the site? Not having read them i would like to ask some questions. Has anyone put forward the idea of making it so you must have a possession and Acquisition License to buy a airsoft gun that is a "replica"? I'm thinking this could make it hard to buy off ebay but at least Canadian retailers could have a better choice of product? |

It is not hard now.... I can walk in to a retail store not 10 minutes from my house and buy pretty much anything I may want... what more do you want?

could be by "easier" he means "cheaper". while they are much cheaper than a year or 2 back they are still more expensive by a large amount compared to outside Canada, and to the OP it is more expensive because of Canadian import costs and other costs incurred by importing an illegal item.

I live in Newfoundland there is no store here and only a small group known to me (~20 tops).
Cheaper would be nice. Going into that (the main point of this thread is the first line) why is it such a huge difference in price? I could understand 50-75% increase over say ehobby or GI but not ~300% or 175%. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/sniper-ri...per-rifle.html http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...oducts_id=5963 http://www.shootsoft.ca/clearsoft/pr...roducts_id=434 Last edited by Hurley895; September 13th, 2010 at 08:51..

For a guy that read the FAQ didnt seem to glean much else from the site. Next step the search button for such a topic. I think we've all lost count how many of these are posted here all the time.

You think the prices are egregious now? $500-600 was standard for TM guns 8 years ago. That same $500 gets you some pretty skookum shit now-a-days!
Hot diggity! |

Shootsoft is the worst site to look at. They have bad customer service and horribly inflated prices compared to anywhere else in Canada.

All right so no one has a suggestion as to how I can help make things better or a answer to is the document in the faq able to be read on this site.
Instead I got a lot of guys (not all) picking on a new guy posting in the new person section. |

You CAN'T help things. All you can do is not hurt the situation by doing something simple. (IE; playing in public) thats pretty much all any of us can do.
ANd if you think your being made fun of, i have to say this is the nicest I've seen asc out of the thousands of times noobs have 'this revolutionary idea to make PALs required for airsoft' |

Not a cheap sport... If you cant afford it, then play badminton or something you can afford.
