Biden Administration Going After Airsoft Firearms?!?

New York is considering two bills, S9215 and A10701, that would significantly regulate air guns and BB guns.

The proposed regulations include making these items brightly colored, transparent, and having plugged barrels, which would effectively ban most current models. The legislation also aims to prevent sales to straw purchasers and traffickers, and addresses concerns about marketing practices, potentially impacting First Amendment rights.
