We all need to stick together and fight every restriction that is proposed as one day, we may find there is no sport left at all.

I respect your right to enjoy military-style replica airguns peacefully, John, and will argue as forcefully as I can for you to be able to continue to do so unmolested!

But a part of me wonders whether your predeliction isn't going to invite unwanted hostile attention, as Trev is observing it might (not calling for).

I'm also not sure what guns designed for battle have to do with airguns designed to drop small game or put holes in targets?

You're probably right in saying your enemies and mine are the same, but I think it's easier to make the case that my chosen hobby has less potential to be hijacked by evil people among us.
