    Good for you.

    Doesnt change two salient facts though.

    1) Airsoft is not under any threat right now nor in the forseeable future.

    2) Even if you do introduce the license for retailers, it will not stop the unlicensed sale of kit from market stalls, car-boot sales and quicky stuff from mobile phone shops and bong-shops.

    You are probably right about the video shops. I wasnt aware that they required a license from the censor, but that to is a red herring because even though they are subject to fines etc garages still sell ciggies to kids, video stores still rent 18's flicks to minors etc.

    All a license will do for airsoft is put a charge on the retailer (which will get passed on to us), create a beuraucracy in the government to cope with it (defeating the purpose of the inclusion of the 1joule section of the CJB2006), provide the grounds for further restrictions to be extended to the individual airsofter.

    At present the government has no plans to legislate against Airsoft nor to change the law to specifically control them. It doesnt make sense to do so because it would require reclassification of the devices. Then you have the mess of trying to define exactly what an airsoft device is (which believe me is harder than you'd think).

    While I understand the reasons you want to see tighter control, so do I, the answer is not licensing, it will create more problems than it solves.

    i hope you are right
    have another hug (((((lol)))))
