on a air rifle site it says that all internet air rifle stores are being closed and real looking guns are being stoped there all goin to be transparent or bright coulered how fooking stupid is this true and does it mean that now the guns will have to be made out of different matierial which means higher priced guns or have i got it wrong?

 

''Due to new legislation from October 1st 2007 you will no longer be able to buy realistic imitation firearms. This applies to all blank firing pistols, replica pistols/rifles and most BB guns. You will only be able to buy bb guns in translucent or brightly coloured plastics''

I think it's the violent crime reduction bill mate. Stops the sale/transport from RFD's to private customers I think.

The bright colour business relates to airsoft stuff I think (not sure though).

 

There is a thread or two further down this page, one by Portland Jon, relating to legal "workarounds".
