Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - City police ask public force to register replica firearms

I have a NERF rocket launcher, now I'm worried the local police will think I'm an arms dealer or something.

I'm with Kurgan. A stupid bylaw is still a bylaw; choosing to ignore it won't make it go away. But if I choose to obey the law, even a city bylaw, does that make me less responsible than the people who choose to break that law? Now, if I were to register my guns and they DID confiscate them, do you think I'd encourage my fellow airsofters to do the same thing? I think you know the answer. But so do the cops, and if they truly want people to register their guns, do you think they'd start terrorizing people for it? This isn't Nazi Germany or North Korea, guys. Nobody is getting rich from a $2 registration fee on my airsoft guns.
