Do the majority of British people really view airsoft and bb guns as being "real" guns? I mean I understand that they launch projectiles and can hurt when they hit you but by no means are they "actually" firearms. This guy is showing off his bb guns like they are the real deal. He gets the same fuzzy feeling handling a toy as most people do handling legitimate firearms.

What's up with this shit?

BB guns? No.

Air rifles? To non-firearm owners, yes.

Typically you'll never normally interact with firearms unless you have an interest or are in the armed services or a police armed unit.

I couldn't make it through the whole video. Does he actually own any real guns, or just toys?
>>
>>29503914
I think two of his guns are "decommissioned" firearms. So they were real guns, but then they were made to not be real guns so they'd legal. That's what he made it sound like at least
>>
>>29503775
>He gets the same fuzzy feeling handling a toy as most people do handling legitimate firearms.

You get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you could actually kill someone? Shouldn't be owning a firearm imo.

See that's a problem here on /k/, we [bongs] get a lot of flak for our state of firearm ownership, but (sadly) in America it isn't all milk and honey.

The internal pro-funs community should be more united.
>>
>>29503775
This is actually a good thing. It's hard for foreigners to understand how firearms are viewed here, how poisoned people's minds are against them.
People like this guy are rebelling, in their own small way, against the anti-gun establishment. We have actual gun owners too, but we're few and far-between, and almost all of us are hopeless fudds. Normalising "military-style" airsoft guns is a step, however small, towards normalising an enthusiasm for the real thing. It's all about breaking down taboos, and we have a lot of them to deal with.

Not so bad, but still, fuck you.

People are probably just curious about his props, that's all.

>fuzzy feeling
What fuzzy feeling? He seems to treat them a tad bit roughly, maybe except for some of his more expensive shit (like decommissioned rifles).
>>
>>29504217

I disagree since Piers Morgan, Ricky Gervais and Liam Neeson and all those other libshits move over to you.

I suspect the real problem is that the ideological disparities between the US and the UK, Ausfalia, etc cause the rift.

You get Americans feeling pretty defensive when the Brits and Aussies start trying to tell them why Americans shouldn't be allowed to own "Firearm x" because it's scary and their own countries don't allow it.

So the Americans tell the UK and Aussies to cuck a cock and enjoy the limited rights that the UK and Ausfalia allow them to have.

If gun enthusiasts just united under the common banner of "we all like guns and we all support legal gun owners owning whatever they want" I suspect the dialogue would be very different.

We've just had it over in the other thread brit thread though, I'm yet to see someone who is pro-funs in the UK and dislike the 2nd -- I love the constitution.

well most teens and young adults have never seen let alone fired a real gun(but not me beacause luckily my grandfather was a keen shooter and hunter) but they love their guns from vidya and think they are firearms experts because they watch FPSrussia and can identify famous meme guns. most kids get airsoft guns because they like guns but can't get them

I find it funny that this nu-male thinks that it is weird and bad to like bb guns and seems almost apologetic about owning them(but then he seems like the type who wears a So Sorry T-shirt while his "significant other" pleasures an afro-caribbean bull)

>>29504356

I remember listening some real cockpit audio from an aussie sunderland crew and they really did talk to each in that formal way even when shit was getting real

I can't be bothered finding and copying a link as I'm posting from my phone because I got a 1 month ban for mentioning I had just legally slept with a 16 year old boy I'm friends with(I guess /lgbt/'s pro-bono hotpocket aficionado was enraged that a 16 yr old twink and a 18 yr old twink were passionately making love while nobody has ever touched his 3" calloused dick)

>britcucks

but since I'm a francuck and we are going to get the brit gun control treatment this summer (semi-auto firearms banned, handguns possibly banned, internet sales banned, starter guns and replicas being considered actual weapons legally speaking, etc) as well as the new EU deactivation standard... Yeah, I guess we are all on the same boat now.

>>29505451
Anyone who owns guns and posts on /k/ wants maximum liberties and rights regardless of the nationality. If someone here tells you gun/thing X should be banned they are most probably just trolling you.

These ideological differences are inside your head because of American stereotypes of other nationalities not owning or even liking guns.

Sure, british or australian "liberal" is the same gungrabber as yours are, but their nationalists are pro gun just like your republicans are.

>I mean I understand that they launch projectiles and can hurt when they hit you but by no means are they "actually" firearms.

Legally speaking, in almost every jurisdiction in the world, the law views an Airshit gun in SOME CAPACITY as a firearm, weapon, imitation, etc. In many places, committing a crime with an Airsoft gun will consider you to have committed that gun while armed with a real weapon. In some places, Airsoft has the same regulation as real guns and there is almost no legal distinction between the two.

The US doesn't technically view Airsoft as a real gun on the federal level, but many places and some states how their laws / ordinance is written, Airsoft would apply. For example, some cities that ban the discharge of a firearm within city limits may have it worded to include Airshit and/or Paintball.

Airsoft can cause physical harm, and it can cause irreparable, serious bodily injury in some cases. It also slowly resembles real firearms to the point people can not tell the difference.

It is unquestionably a weapon, and can be used identically to one. It's like a baseball bat where it doesn't really become a weapon until you use it as such.

I don't know man, every time I see bongs or krauts on YouTube or something showing off their guns, they act totally cool with restrictions like safe requirements and shit.

You have to wonder what a massive sociological impact losing something like 1,300,000 military dead in the first 50 years of the 20th century. American military dead during the same period is less than half that number. France lost well over 1,000,000 between 1914-18 alone.

Entire generations of the best and bravest men died, so it's no wonder there is some amount of "softening" of the culture over generations.
