Airsoft to be Banned in Massachusetts?

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Section 1. Section 12 B of chapter 269 of the general laws, as appearing in the 2002 Official Edition, is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:

No person shall sell or possess an air rifle or so-called BB gun that is designed, manufactured or altered to provide fully automatic firing or discharge or which is designed or altered to fire more than 10 rounds or pellets per trigger pull. Whoever violates this section shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1000, and the air rifle or BB gun shall be confiscated. Upon a conviction of a violation of this section the air rifle or BB gun or other weapon shall, by the written authority of the court, be forwarded to the colonel of the state police, who may dispose of said article in the same manner as prescribed in section 10.

There is a thread on NEASG (The board you all hate so much) that has tons of real, true, correct information on this topic...

Bottom line, this bill never got off the ground... It died on the floor due to lack of support.

Don't worry, all of us in Massachusetts are glad you live in Rhody too... We can just smell you without having to see you.

So very old, discussion on this was gone through at length in the old forum.
