Dr Airsoft has some bad news for Californian Airsofters but there’s still something they can do to help halt SB 1315:
California Airsofters lose another round in the SB 1315 battle. Yesterday the California Senate passed SB 1315 in a 21 to 14 vote. It is now expected to go on to the Assembly Public Safety Committee. California residents should call members of the Committee to tell them to vote against this bill. Be respectful and polite. Here is a sample script you can use:
"I am (your name). My zip code is (your zip code)/ Please oppose SB 1315 which proposes to allow LA County to be unique among all municipalities in the State of California to restrict freedoms related to airsoft and small calibre paintball guns. This was tried last year on the state level with SB 798, which failed to pass. I share with Senator De Leon, the author of the bill, the desire to get airsoft guns out of the hands of unattended minors in public, but this bill is not the way to do it. The Airsoft Safety Foundation and Airsoft Medicine would like to work together with Senator De Leon to make this happen."
