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.

One thread should suffice.

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.

And this is why BB guns are now treated as deadly weapons. Good work guys.

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?

Over here the catapults with an arm brace are classed as a prohibited "weapon".

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!

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.

You live there I don't, so I will bow to your better knowledge. With the recent Presidential elections setting 50% of America against the other 50% politically, now this pro/anti gun lobby fracas, it just seems to us over the pond that you guys really are heading for another Civil War.

I'm old enough to still remember Little Rock Arkansas in the mid 1950's. We couldn't believe what was happening in supposedly the most civilised nation in the world. And we cannot believe it now, for different reasons

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.
