<p>Hey Everyone,<br/> I just want to say "WOW" . As you have noticed we got a huge surge of signers thanks to Airsoft Megastore. With their help we managd to get over a thousand signers in one day!! . Below is an excert from Soap with new info on whats goin on behind the scenes. At the bottom is a list of links to info and buisnesses that have helped out with posting this petition.<br/><br/></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Airsoft-Safety-Foundation/219867928142678" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">Airsoft Safety Foundation</a>, working with Mr. Evike Change, Mr. Andrew Ho, and other ASF officers have secured a meeting with Senator De Leon to discuss SB199! The bill remains in the CA Assembly and is still pending committee assignment and a hearing date, so hopefully the gentlemen can work out an agreement on the bill before it proceeds any farther! Thanks to Airsoft Safety Foundation's persistent effort, Mr. Evike Chang, Mr. Andrew Ho and other ASF officers have gotten Senator De Leon to agree talk over SB199.<br/><br/>Maggiore Soap spoke with Alex, Senator De Leon's staffer on SB199 today. After a 15 minute conversation, we can confirm that De Leon and his staff are working with industry representatives to amend the bill. They hear our concerns regarding the coloration and economic impact, and have arranged a meeting with the Airsoft Safety Foundation and other industry representatives (per For California's press release yesterday) to discuss the bill and how to find a solution that does not threaten airsoft, while at the same time improves public safety.</p>
<p>Soap stressed that airsoft guns are NOT toys, and that the responsibility lieswith the parents furnishing their children with BB devices. Alex agreed, stating that educating the public on the issue is key. She also noted that the Senator and his staff are looking at alternatives to solid-color guns, including ideas such as a side stripe on the gun, or a muzzle stripe like the orange tip law currently in place. Furthermore, she stated that they are also examining what steps can be taken to ensure that minors do not obtain BB devices without proper instruction and supervision.</p>
<p>Overall, the conversation yielded a few new pieces of information, but more importantly, it revealed that Senator De Leon and his staff are hearing our concerns, and are willing to meet with representatives to discuss SB199.</p>
<p>This does NOT mean we can relax the pressure! We must ALL continue to CALL OUR REPRESENTATIVES, making sure that we are clear and respectful! We are gaining ground, but we CANNOT let anyone else fight this battle for us! Get to those phones, and call your assembly representatives today, tomorrow, and every day until they get the message!</p>

<p>I am not good at the link thing. As of 2 hours ago two of the major Airsoft promoters (One apears to be Evike exec.), are basing each other and John Lu was writing stuff to keep the peace. One of them appears to have removed his posts. Last name was also Chang.</p>
<p>Go to Walter Chang's Page and then hit the translation button on the top posts. I think this will work.</p>

Complaining on here or getting angry won't help, guys Get to writing letters, and calling reps and the gov. Get your friends to do it too. The Airsoft community beat this type of thing before by coming together.<br />
<br />
So do what Jensen said!
