When it comes to the use of airsoft guns there are many issues surrounding the legalities for these weapons. Many people are concerned that these weapons can get into the hands of those who are not trained to use an airgun or pellet gun properly. Other concerns associated with this issue is that children are getting their hands on these weapons and are not properly trained to use an airgun or paintball gun and they may be using it for things outside of a designated firing range. The other issues is that the airsoft gun resembles a real weapon and can be mistaken by law enforcement. There have been several fatalities due to the resemblance of a airgun and a real gun. The issue with airsoft rifles is that some look like real guns and with inexperienced users they don't understand that they have be trained to know what's real and what's not and how they're to carry and transport an airgun.
Airsoft pistols are another concern since airguns have been used by criminals because of how they look like the real thing except they can purchase them and not have to deal with a background check as you would with a real gun. Then you can buy pellets without any real trouble since you have to be of legal age to buy ammunition for a gun. The concern is the legal issues with underage users getting their hands on these guns and are not properly supervised and trained. An untrained user can cause some serious damage with an Airsoft gun if they're not trained by someone who's qualified to handle an airgun or paintball rifle. Inexperienced users can cause serious bodily injury to themselves and if it's used for something illegal it could get them killed or seriously injured if they're up against the police and a shootout happens.
Other issues are convicted felons getting their hands on an Airsoft gun and using it for illegal activities such as a robbery or stick up. It's easy for them to buy an Airgun since you don't need a background check to buy these types of weapons which makes it easier for convicted felons to obtain them. The fact that they can get their hands on an airsoft gun or paintball guns makes the legal concern a lot higher than most people would imagine. The fact that a lot of questions arise legally about mostly inexperienced users using airsoft guns , and not having the proper training and supervision to ensure that safety is being adhered to on properly designated fields that are used for pellet and paintball gun battles. This will be a subject revisited often when it's needed to address concerns surrounding the legality of using airguns. Some states actually have a ban on them because of so many inexperienced users getting their hands on them and not using them the right way.
Because they are dangerous, to avoid injuries, it's important to keep safe and follow the rules in order to use the airguns correctly.
