Yes, but do you trust him to store them safely?

[Drunken Monkey]

I congratulate you on a fine choice of firearm but in all honesty I really do hope that they are responsible enough to tell you to obtain a B cat or go away

Palmerston North police have warned retailers they need a dealer's licence to sell air pistols after seizing more than 100 from an unlicensed import shop.
Area arms officer Greg Nyhan said no decision had been made on whether the shop would be charged but offenders could be charged under the Arms Act.
"We want to take the opportunity to remind retailers that possession and sale of guns, and similar air guns, is an offence and they will be seized and destroyed," he said.
"It is also timely to remind everyone that unlawful possession of airguns regardless of their strength, and discharging these weapons in a public place, is also an offence."
The firearms seized used air compressed by a cocking spring to fire a round, plastic pellet up to 20m.
"While they appear to be toys, they have the potential to produce painful results," Mr Nyhan said.
"Two such firearms were seized recently from two youths who were firing the air gun at children playing in a school playground.

WTF?!?!

The $2 shop not far from work sells shoddy Chinese-made airsoft pistols, does this mean they have to have a dealer's licence or face prosecution?

I laughed.
Crime must be slow today.

How can it be slow.

There will be an announcement from the police, to the public at large, describing how, at great personal danger and with only the thought of the safety of the public in their mind, they have just taken over 100 illegal firearms off the criminal market, thereby making life safer for all of us.

Safe from tiny stinging plastic balls. Oh I forgot they could take out someones eye if they are staring down the barrel.

This is how the statistics are fudged

those bb guns shoot at around 15 fps. you can see them fly through the air

[Mr Merde]

those bb guns shoot at around 15 fps. you can see them fly through the air

But they are air guns and therefore illegal to sell without a dealers licence.

I'm supprised they didnt go i9n mob handed and waste the importer

Cant be too safe when illegal firearms are involved.

He could have been selling them to the Mongrel Mob or other gangs.

He could have been arming the whole East Coast for a trerrorist plot against the govenment.

Shit 10 of thos things could have taken out the NZ Army. Just hit one grunt with a bb and he will have to take aq timeout to recover from the stress oif being stung.

Who knows what would have happened if they had of fallen into the wrong hands. The havoc caused by 100 boys playing cops and robbers, whoops sorry "cops and socially maladjusted miscreants"

I got shot in the eye by one while in a close quarter combat death match with my mortal enemy from primary school. It stung a little.

you and your mortal enemy are obviously totally irresponsible and should be ashamed of yourselves. I bet you've also run with scissors.

In my day, the guys didn't have access to airsoft guns and plastic BBs, they had to make do with proper break-action air rifles with lead slugs. I got to listen to graphic descriptions of how "so-and-so got thingummy in the throat and the slug had to be pulled out of the skin".

Somehow, they all managed to survive to adulthood.

Or is that "adultery"? One of the two.

True, we used to have soft air battles all the time. I got hit in the eye once when I foolishly took my goggles off. It stung LESS than the time I got hit in the teeth, now THAT hurt! (granted it was a ricochet to the eye, not a direct hit)

we used to play with them in primary school, having wars, untill the bastard teachers took them off us. (teachers took way more shots to take down than we had)

Well when they took air guns off us I had to get my danger fix somewhere and just started throwing open siccors everywhere. That... Probably explains why former teachers seem so anxious around me

We used to line the loser up against a wall and shoot them on the back of the head (or where ever you could hit)... "Loyalists and Communists" or something (cops and robbers was for the poor kids who couldn't buy a bb gun). Did you really try to take a teacher down with a bb gun? Awesome!
