high power air over the last few years have become what they were for Lewis and Clark a good way to hunt and a better way to protect themself's. modern air such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlxcFSq5k8c can be used for hunting or target practice and differs only in two distinct way form a conventional rife 1 it is quieter and 2 it does not use chemical burning to expel the bullet so BTAF HAS NO JURIDICTION. I thought it might be interesting to see here peoples views on these. |

some of them have clip some have magazines some are single shot some can launch a 1 1/2 oz. projectile at over 1200 ft.per second. some run on 3600 psi air so 4200 psi some 6000 psi. these aren't paint guns any more. |

And this is why BB guns are now treated as deadly weapons. Good work guys. Tim the Toolman Tailor at work. Bigger. Badder. Dumber. Janice |

High power air rifles have been around since before the Lewis and Clark expedition their not new the popularity is just back. as an economical alternative to the high cost of convectional rounds for actual fire arms. |

Any item that fires projectiles by whatever means is capable of killing people, even a catapult. Maybe we need catapult control laws? #resist |

There are so called professional catapults that are classed as "stunning weapons" Catapults TNX for the link as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catapult is obviously not what you had in mind. Yes, we need to ban "Y" shapes and rubber bands as being dangerous precursors to deadly weapons! What about the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sling_%28weapon%29? We will have to outlaw rope as well! <ed>Gosh forbid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trebuchet |

If you look at the second amendment and the right to bear arms, as I understand it, it was introduced in 1791 because the Founding Fathers were genuinely worried at the time that the population didn't have the means defend itself, against enemies who would take their freedom, be they foreign, or their own government grown too full of itself. Might have been a necessary safeguard back then, but how relevant is that today with the might of the American Armed forces, and the way that Congress operates? With the way the executive branch operates, it may be not even be sufficient. However until Congress and 3/4 of the States agree, the people shall be allowed arms. Note "arms" isn't just firearms. |

With the way the executive branch operates, it may be not even be sufficient. That was the executive branch doing its thing. Well, executive branch of local government. Nothing has changed to their power since then. Perhaps the second amendment makes more sense in light of this. |
