We’re on this one and were talking to media providing background info this morning - it’s badly thought out and we’ll be fighting it.

Perhaps an easier solution because I kind of think that as toys they should be allowed out in public. otherwise you grow up like @juststarting shouting PEW PEW when playing cowboys and Indians or cops and robbers. When I was a kid we had the cap guns either pistols with little revolver type caps or the paper tape type caps guns that made there own noise. An alternative rule could be that you have to be under 18/21 to own or use one in public.
No, no, no, let them get into real guns 
Same, jokes aside, a completely ridiculous decision and an embarrassment to the country. Soon, we will wear compulsory helmets when walking on pavement. Over regulation and nanny state gone mad.

The plan is to encourage both 
I really like your airsoft approach too. Fantastic thinking.
Thought you might.
Interesting reactions on the Adelaide subreddit. Pretty evenly split between “This is dumb”, “They could regulate without going this far” and “Oh thank god, I was so scared for my safe community”.
However, Reddit is notoriously left wing so the fact that a decent number of people on there are saying they aren’t happy is a positive sign.

Or move to Queensland, where you can own replicas (including Cat D and Cat R replicas from February) just because you think they look cool

Yeah, nah…
Do you need a license and rego, safe storage and all that BS in QLD for replicas?
Are they gel blasters or replicas?
Gel blasters. Scar-h is metal and nylon. Rest are all metal receivers and handguards with real wood for ak

I think I need to move to QLD
Mix of co2 and green gas gel blaster handguns. Full auto on top left is a lot of fun.
Got a TTI hicappa on the way in the next week too
Not for Cat A, B, C or H stuff at present, and from February that will also include Cat D and Cat R replicas.
Gel blasters are toys at present, and being reclassified as replicas from February.

Wow, that’s awesome and as it should be but it’s hard not to be shocked by reasonable and logical treatment of toys .
It was like that in Vic when I was a kid in the 80s / 90s, I guess it’s true what the say about QLD , it is 20yrs behind Vic but in a good way😁

Who remembers the plastic spring powered pistols that shoot the orange plastic pellets you could order from the magazine adds in the good old days?
I miss toys like that, should of been brought back to kill time in lockdown.
