    Hmm, this is not great - the questions being asked are scaremongering. The presenter has admitted to liking Paintball, but is steering it toward being something insidious.

    I do think it's a poor choice of words - but listening with interest

    Some of the IAA maybe need to ring the show as 2fm is a big deal

    Airsoft and RIF's are well legislated for, it is just a matter of the legislation being enacted (I am unsure of the term) so there is no issue.

    The gadget shops wont be selling toy guns when that happens, and brandishing in public of an RIF is already a criminal offence.

    These would be the points to make to these sheisse stirrers.

    In fairness these shows have a pretty large number of research staff.

    Any decent show would be contacting the IAA well in advance requesting them to join the show for debate, if not, well then it says it all.

    And in cases like that retailers and site owners should just keep out of it.

    Seen too many radio segments and newspaper interviews been a nightmare and cringey and usually not the best.

    Going onto a debate or discussion , live on air, with no prep mateiral, is going to end in tears : /

    Although I can't hear the station, if Ozzie is on the show, hes passion and wit I'm sure is going to be enough to cross the line and ensure it isnt a negetive outcome :D

    Joe Duffy will be good today!

    Lads seriously if you get an urge to "Talk to Joe" don't!!!! There were enough sleeve chewers on 2fm already.

    Two tone guns, head shots, etc... Muppets!

    *cue sound of sharpening pitchforks coming from doe juffy's studio*

    But in fairness , by and large a far more intelligent treatment of airsoft than we would have gotten a few years ago.
    I didnt think the shop owner came across well though.Mad Ozzie in contrast came across as anything but Mad.


    and we're back onto royal weddings

    Aye, leave it to the IAA, our representative body, to defend our sport/hobby

    who said that

    the bit where the guy from wexford said that an ak would "take the legs off ya" was the worst for me

    followed by "we'd probably stop people from playing if they had no eye gear"

    but someone has to challange not just give answers yer man is all i like paintball but airsoft is different

    Biohazrd was on to them and they said they'd be calling him back to go back to the item later in the show.

    I doubt that'll happen though....the last thing they want is people who know what they're talking about. I only caught the end...2FM have a podcast of their shows dont they ?

    I was thinking the same thing, this is just a lazy pickup from the lazy story about that new gadget shop.

    OMG ak47 the most deadly gun in the world, only 799.99, made of realistic black plastic, rabble rabble headshops!

    Surely the IAA and its work with the DOJ are what matters, not the floundering of uninformed media, and as such we are probably safe, two-tone is a terrible idea and the DOJ agreed with the IAA on that point I believe.

    Some guy from Kildare, and he wasn't very clear about offical sites and that it might be played in any woodland etc. I cringe when Joe airsoft gets on radio and starts talking.

    As Tony said, I tried to get on but was told they'll be coming back to it in the next hour and they said they would call me back.

    I only heard from "we want two tone guns" on so can somebody summarise the relevant points raised for me so I am properly armed if I do get to talk to them

    Cheers

    Someone should invite Colm Hayes out to a Airsoft game and show him what it is all about.

    Just tuned in, the same old same old the interviewer trying desperately to lead the person into saying something he can jump on, focusing on "guns" "guns" can they be used to hold up a bank... Drug busts... AK47s shooting 700 rounds a min. Sure anyone can hold up a post office with all types of things "a screwdriver, an axe, a large stick with a nail all that would do more damage than an AEG.
    This constant reference to guns has to stop, and when people are ringing these type of shows they should make it clear to the interviewer that they are not guns nor should they be referred to as guns as it is very misleading and general scaremongering of the general public.
    Talk about picking out the bits that suited his agenda, really getting sick of this, no one comments on the fact that other sports in which there is physical contact such as martial arts, Rugby, football, GAA Hurling is far more dangerous and ultimately more likely to cause you physical damage. You don't here "What they swing big sticks around"

    and No one mentioned cross border gaming or lads travelling to England or even that its one of the few sports or activities that bring a wide range of different nationalities together for example the Philippians, polish, Russian and many more

    Danin - they ARE guns, however, they are NOT weapons this is a very important distinction that people need to bear in mind
