Cst. Murry Smith - RCMP - give him a ring. He appropriated the required ballistic test data to the CFC back in 1999 that mandated future Airsoft policies.

Been there, done that. Spoke with him at length (over an hour). If he is the horse's mouth, then the horse said 335 fps is not a replica and therefore good to go.

The possession of replicas is certainly legal... so there is no change to our ability as owners of replicas to use them in a responsible manner. What has really happened over the past few months is that Customs, and Law enforcement has made it pretty clear that thay don't think there is any "grey" area with respect to the classifying of Airsoft guns as replicas. And neither should we... What this means is that effectivly the trade in airsoft guns is gone.. we can no longer presume that the "foggy" definition of airsoft guns will protect us from Criminal Charges. This is exactly why retailers are getting out of the business....They know that the basis of their business is the sale of replica firearms to individuals .. which was in the past tolerated by the law...But seems to be much less so now.... To address the whole PAL issue and the required changes to the Firearms Act and the CCC that would be required to achieve our aim of licensing the sale of replicas to individuals... One question... Why should they? of what value to society is allowing the licensed sale of replicas to individuals? Other than enabling this tiny community to continue to enjoy its passtime without hinderance? Who would loose anything if this community was extinguished? and ground out of existance by the drying up of all sources of airsoft guns?.. other than us? The current laws and restrictions serve well enough to make replicas available to those who have legitimate need in the eyes of the law. Specifically for theatrical and movie/ television production industry and for training purposes. I simply can not see any support in lawmakers to re-jig laws to allow us to get more replica guns to play our games... For me... what this means is I need to get a BFL

Brian, I agree with your assessment that lawmakers won't change anything for our hobby. BFL? Not familiar with that, but I would assume it's "better fucking lawyer"!

You have no idea how hard I've been trying to do this. This is the problem. I'm willing to take any ideas on how to get this in writing. I think this is where we can get MPs involved. Asking them to introduce legislation would be next to hopeless (not to be pessimistic), but getting help to get something in writing, that has some possibility. Any thoughts?
