How about a bill that makes all convicted, accused, or suspected felons wear bunny slippers? That ought to make people feel a lot safer.
"Spirit" of America past is more like itMassachusetts, The Spirit of America.
The thing that killed this bill last time is they lumped in BB & air guns with whatever else was a "replica" and that ran afoul of the fed airgun preemption laws.
"reasonably be perceived".........................in the Commiewealth, that phrase is particularly broad!!
How are witches going to travel?Yeah, from the sounds of things they're trying to outlaw umbrellas and broomsticks.

Pardon my ignorance, but what Fed airgun laws? Have a cite?
Like MA legistraitors/governor/PDs/DAs/judges will care about this exemption!The law is United States Code, Title 15, Section 5001, BB/AIRGUN/PAINTBALL/IMITATION FIREARM PREEMPTION. The sections of interest are Sections "g(i) and g(ii)" at the very end. 15 U.S. Code § 5001 - Penalties for entering into commerce of imitation firearms
"(g) Preemption of State or local laws or ordinances; exceptions
The provisions of this section shall supersede any provisions of State or local laws or ordinances which provide for markings or identifications inconsistent with provisions of this section provided that no State shall
(i) prohibit the sale or manufacture of any look-alike, non-firing, collector replica of an antique firearms developed prior to 1898, or
(ii) prohibit the sale (other than prohibiting the sale to minors) of traditional B-B, paint ball, or pellet-firing air guns that expel a projectile through the force of air pressure."
I am a member of both communities, and have spread the word.I'm not saying NOT fight for them, but I'm so glad to see the Paintball community coming out in force to help gun owners. (/sarcasm)

This is my latest creation. A custom Automag with a stealth Low Pressure Regulator in the foregrip to drive the pneumatic actuated trigger.
Waiting on a couple parts, then sending it out to be anodized.

Interesting. Is the gun "tiny" or is the trigger comparatively large? They look out of proportion. (I don't mean that as a criticism - I just mean the trigger seems large / long were it an ordinary handgun.
How hard does it hit? More like a bb gun? A .22? Harder?
It is a double length trigger.
You use your index and middle finger to "walk" the trigger, alternatively firing with each to maximize rate of fire.
Is there a web site that details builds like that?
Allow me to rephrase...
Of course there ARE such sites. Can you recommend any?
