You always have the option to leave quietly if you're not happy with our self-regulation. Nobody is forcing you to be here. If you don't like it, the door's over there - don't let it hit your ass on the way out.
Your second option is to man up, admit that you're talking shit and you don't know the law and how it applies to you with regards to airsoft guns (and yes, there are people here who are
actual lawyers who can tell you, not just spew bullshit) and do things the way the rest of the community does. This ensures goodwill between
yourself (the outsider) and the people who you would like answers from and would, in the future when you're mature enough, be hosting the games you would probably enjoy attending
(the community - that's us).
The third option is to continue to ignore the advice you're given, piss off the community, get yourself ostracized within the community, and sit at home posing and looking at your guns in the mirror, 'cause nobody is gonna let you play in their organized games if you're arrogant, self-centered, deceitful, egotistical fuckwit with a few dollars and an attitude who thinks this community owes them something.

Firstly, let me preface this by saying I'm old enough to be your dad. I own a real-steel AR15. Sure, I could hand it to my just-turned-18-year-old son and say "have fun, kid" and go back to renovating my basement. That doesn't make it ethically, morally, or legally acceptable. Just because you've done something already (or your parent's don't know something) doesn't make it right, or legal.
By allowing you (a child) to play around with an air rifle or airsoft gun unsupervised, your parents are breaking the law in just about every municipality in Canada.
Period.
Full stop.
End of sentence.
There's no other way to say it, son. They are breaking the law - whether you like the law, or whether they've broken it unwittingly in the past is irrelevant. When you break the laws, you put the hobby that the rest of us enjoy in jeapordy.
Seriously, son. Give your head a shake. You come into OUR house, demand WE answer your questions, tell us OUR rules are stupid, and get pissed off at us because WE try and steer you in the right direction and get frustrated when you won't listen?
Is there any wonder why people are getting so hostile towards you? You bring it on yourself whenever you open your mouth before you engage your brain....
Respect here is earned through both deeds and words, not post count. So far, you haven't earned squat, so the community owes you nothing.
Consider this to be an opportunity to change your way of thinking. There are people leaving doors open to you here, but you're so intent on doing things your own way that you're closing them just as quickly...
