I got the impression from the fight across the pond that British airsofters' attempt to ally with other pro-gun groups had mixed/lukewarm receptions.
Not saying that RS guys would all do that, just wondering how different groups thinks. Since if you look at it, airsoft and RS don't coexist particularly well. When either side gets into trouble, the other is unavoidably drawn in. Yet airsofting wouldn't be nearly as difficult if real guns were illegal, and RS owners can sleep a little better at night knowing that there aren't kids running around constantly pissing off the anti-gun social hypochodriacs.

Don't worry buddy - membership fees are always ca$h green, I don't think they will be too put off by what you do. Just hope that your interests are included when you sign up, cause perspectives change just like underpants.
Besides, if Airsoft get's banned, who are the real steeler's going to make fun of? It would be like a giant, celestial black hole of ridicule exploding into itself. Devistating.
