The BB guns are low powered, the problem lies with firearms that can be modified thus "ALL" airpowered firearms come under the firearms act in Australia this is why they are Illegal.
You have not mentioned about spearguns - they are not illegal in Australia ? You can buy a hunting bow or cross-bow in Australia. Gee i can even go into a store and buy knives, martial arts weapons, even a hardware store has many items that will kill or maim. You can buy swords at the markets in Fremantle and any other capital city. Thus the point of RESPOSIBLE actions. If you can't use them responibly don't touch them, but don't force your hang ups on me,
We obviously will never agree, this is why it's called a forum. I do not nor have ever agreed that it's my right to own a weapon but it's my right to own a toy...
