Well it is because the uninformed public has made a knee-jerk reaction to airsoft being the reason for a death, instead of holding people responsable for their actions.
Oh ya, if there is no law about it being for 18 plus why does crappy tire lock it all away and have you show ID????

What's written on the box has no bearing in law whatsoever. That's a manufacturer's suggestion. It happens to be the stance of this community as well. And that too has no legal weight whatsoever.
The only province in Canada that has an age restriction on air guns of any kind is Ontario. You have to be 18+ to purchase the gun. That's it. There's no law saying a minor can't use it even without adult supervision. Now, most RESPONSIBLE stores across the country will hold any air gun under lock and key and only sell to adults. However, there's nothing preventing them from selling to a kid outside of Ontario. That's being irresponsible IMO, but not illegal.
