I do understand the point, but look at half these threads and how some people post. Yours is at least polite and I respect that. I have seen so low end guns last longer than some of the higher end ones. I think most adults who are trying to enter the sport do understand "you get what you paid for!"
But if it helps to get playing what the harm.

As for the age verifying, it took me a better part of 6 months and alot of emails. In the end it was one of my team mates who pointed the person out to me at a local event and cornering him to get it done.

Try paintball untill you and your friends can afford to play real airsoft. It will cost you a lot less to start up, so its more affordable for you.

It's not dumb, it's the law. Canada is much strict and this is why we have lower cime rates than in the United States.

As gangsters say it. " We do big tingz in Canada".

No no. I did have money. How am I guilty for owning a gun under the legal age when my parents allowed me and was there to buy the gun. In that case, I own it, my parents own it which is the familys' property. That is legal.

You dont get it. If YOU own it, it's illegal.

Dont tell me your parents keep it locked away from you except at authorized fields under their supervision. Try this with more gullible people than us.

No, they don't play. If it's in my property, I can do anything right? I can still own it in my home. My parents trust me for what I have is responsibilities. They don't need to lock it up. They do know it is a weapon if used wrong but it's still a toy isn't it? It's a hobby isn't it?
Why lock it up? Does your parents ever lock up your toy cars when you were the age of 1 and says +3 on the box?

My toy cars were not blocked by Customs.
They own it, not you. Read some more.

You, as under 18, cant have one in your possession unless directly supervised. Wether your parents know those laws is another matter.

Do they let you have the car, drink alcohol and vote too?

Plus the fact that most cities in Ontario, especially Toronto, have bylaws against firing an airgun within city limits.

Look, either way, you'll be breaking a law or bylaw, and you're going against ASC's unwritten rules.

Just shut up already, you haven't found a fancy loophole, you're just a kid with a gun trying to impress adults, failing miserably.

The way I see it.

Cheap AEG's are like getting a whore, fun yet easy. Where as high quality AEG's are like virgins, fun and a whole lot tighter.

How do you think we got in this mess?

Honestly after a life of being told what you are entitled to buy your parents, teachers, and even the Gov why is everyone surprised by the temper tantrums that break out as soon as these kids hear the word no?

You want guns? Sign on the dotted line with the CF and they'll give you one you can memorize every curve of and free ammo to boot.
