Updates on Congress Hearings on Firearms/airsoft

[attyticky]

I received a fax from the House COmmittee on Public Order that the House is temporarily suspending its hearings on these firearms bills.

However everyone should be made aware that the House versions of the "airsoft bill" and the Senate Version are NEARLY IDENTICAL. Both impose the orange tip requirement for all Airsoft guns, and seek to impose a criminal penalty for failure to comply with imprisonment of 6 months and or fine of 50,000 to 100,000 pesos.

We are of course opposing the inclusion of the criminal penalty for failure to comply with the orange tip requirement (please see separate thread on senate position paper). Previously we also opposed the orange tip requirement as being unbecoming of a true replica gun. However our objection was overruled by the Chief PNP, and it was included in the IRR at the last minute.

i do not like the idea of having an orange tip during games as it defeats the purpose of doing milsim games when a law compels you to give away your position during said games which is why we want to be as complaint as possible, but within reason. could it be that we can just have these orange things during transport?

after all, the reason for the orange tips is to the public can tell the difference between real and toy. And we play in private sites away from the public eye

You're right sir ticky. we really have to oppose that imprisonment stuff coz we are not criminals indeed. the orange cap thing if wala na talaga tayong magagawa we can make an orange cap na tanggal tanggal pwede naman cguro yun
