Hey, squiddy…
A few more points, for your debate…
- Collectors…
for those with an interest in historical military items ( people with family members that have served, in the past) …
This is a harmless way, to have keepsakes and memorabilia , of bygone era’s, as a rememberance, and show of respect, of their service, …at no real personal / family risk…
These are not functioning items , and therefore cannot do any real harm…
Also, debates are about shutting down the naysayers…so…
2: " Much has been said( fearmongered), about the potential risk of these blasters being used, for harm, and crimes…
While there is that potential, i would like to address a few salient points…
A) replica pistols have been available in QLD, for decades…there are very few crimes , committed , with these, or gel blasters…
B) Saddeningly, with the recent explosion, of violent crimes, australia wide…these are being commited with knives…
Gel blasters are banned in Vic…but this does not stop the sickening explosion of assaults, home invasions, and murders, by violent teenagers, armed with knives, and machette’s…
The crims don’t use gel blasters (which are ultimately, a harmless bluff) …they choose, and use, knives…to harm and kill , their victims…without regret, or remorse…( pause…wait…)
Machette’s…Good God…what the hell is happening?? ( go for an emotional response…pause…)
God Help Us.
In closing, i believe , gel blasters have more positve effects on the community…like minded people, and their children , come together , to have fun , play , exercise, laugh, and learn repair and maintaince skills…
In the end, its all about having fun, and, like paintball/ laser tag …this is all about fun…
Have you, ever tried it?
I believe, ( like the QLD Minister for Police), these benefits far outweigh the harm, a few reckless fools cause… the crims use knives, for crimes, anyway…
Licensing, although not ideal, would be accepted by the bulk of the community, looking to do the right thing, and wanting to enjoy a fun, happy, pleasurable family activity…
Its better, than having nothing, at all
I could collect stamps,…and no-one would care…
I could collect surfboards,…and no-one would care…
But…
If i want to collect plastic and metal toys, that resemble firearms…
What a mess…
despite the fact, that airsoft is legal, for a large portion of the rest of the world…
Thank you for your time…"
In any debate, there are facts and logic…but also emotion.
Facts and logic are numbers / data…but, if you can get a emotional response from your audience…you’ll win them over…just ask trump…
If you pass, i want a genuine 6 nugget pack…not a dodgy 7 strained nugget extra…!!
