You can blame the gun makers this time. Now they're making real handguns in your choice of colors. That certainly doesn't help matters much.

Still...I'm gonna be P.O.ed if they pull this crap and make it impossible to get my figures because of their alt modes.

Glad I got Masterpiece Megatron when I did, never know what they'll pull in the end.

How do you use an imitation gun for hunting?

I'm not sure, but as long as I can still hunt some tofurkeys with Megatron in Tennessee, that's all that really matters.

Don't much care about the gun laws anyway. Out of personal preference and respect for my neighbors, all of my weapons are silent anyway. A body dropping doesn't wake most folks up but a gun-shot does.
I can't afford MP Megs now anyways and when the day comes that I can, I'll find a way to get him and gun laws be damned. If somebody gets shot by the cops using a toy gun in an attempted hold-up, good. Darwin was right! If a kid gets offed for waving a toy gun in the wrong place at the wrong time, that kids parent wasn't doing their damn job right! We don't need more laws, we need to thin the herd of all the dumbasses!! And yes, I do have kids, I care about their safety and I have also ripped them new ones for doing stupid crap in the wrong place at the wrong time and graphically explained what could happen if they are dumb enough to do it again. It sunk in!
Watermelons make great visual aids for any parents having a hard time getting a point across to a kid.

no doubt, another one of those autobot moves that involve manipulating human govvernments to stifle the noble decepticon cause.

wHAT would this mean for collectors who bought their MP megs overseas? They can't bring them in stateside anymore?

I'm happy that I bought my Masterpiece and Reissue Megatron's last year. This is starting to get ridiculous. Have any of these idiot lawmakers ever heard of "personal responsibility"??

Do you even need to ask? Lawmakers and personal responsibility are so far at the opposite ends from one another, you'd have to spend a life time just to see them meet in the middle.

Wow, that's pretty weird. And I always was under the impression that lawgivers in USA are more lenient than their counterparts on this side of the atlantic. Guess you are now being infiltrated by some leftover socialists from here or something...

Uh...and isn't it the parents responsibility to look after their kids and what they do with their toy guns, not the governments?

If you live in a country, where you can get REAL guns, you must put toy guns on banned lists so if the local cop plays target practice, he'll have the right to do so.... interesting.

I wouldn't call them idiots. The ones that will really be behind this push will be a minority group.

Yes, they're a minority, but in things like this the majority rarely speak up in objection because they either can't be arsed, don't know how, figure it'll go away on it's own, or just don't get enough support.

So here's the thing people. Rather than sitting behind your computers logged onto this website. Get together and voice your objections to this if you're against it so much.

Welp, there goes paintball and water gun fights


Weilding MP Megatron has turned into Sirius Buisness

i think there just doing it becasue hes a transformer and acutlay realistic but what the idiots out there dont realize if you buy plastic gun from walmart with orange tip on it all you need is spraycan with blackpaint in it bye bye orange tip it shouldnt be megatron it shouldbe others as well i am pssied about this i havnt even stated my master piece collectuion yet and megatron may be the only one cant get becasue of this bull s&*(^t.

Why dont they just make realistic gun toys or gun replica items 18+? I cant see a typical 10yo wanting a G1 Megatron or even a MP. Its not like hasbro/Takara will ever make a new character with a real gun alt mode, so we are really only talking about one TF character and only a couple of molds. What does that mean for TF collectors? G1 Megs and MP-05 will eventually become harder to find and obtain, but as time goes by so will all G1 molds. I mean how many times do you think we will see offical re-issues be released? The 70's and 80's were very different times and the toys this law might effect (at least in this hobby community) are a kick back to those times.

At the end of the day if you want any form of G1 Megs, just get him now, theres plenty out there in one form or another.

I second that. BTW, great sig you have .

NO sense in anyone going crazy yet. Not until we get more details on what passes, and what states it involves.

Poor Australia.

What about G1 Browning? He was a realistic toy gun.

D-308 is Browning's Destron code. He was an actual TransFormers branded figure.

Yes, he was originally a Diaclone figure.

to hell with this ****


all i got to say to those fearmongering ba$tards on the matter is this

#uck you $hitheads with a capital #UCK

the day some #ucktard with a badge attempts to steal my perfect grade masterpiece megatron will be the day i literally take that sob on a one way trip to hell with me

Hmm, insinuated murder-suicide. Angst much?

The NRA has so much lobbying money in our politicians pockets that they have to pass BS laws like these to 'protect' the children while we have more gun violence than any other country in the world.

Most states require a three day waiting period for handguns and require at the very least a state criminal records check. If you're getting a handgun anytime you want, you're not buying it from a licensed dealer. It's from the trunk of some guy's car or something, ie a criminal. The majority of NRA members are law abiding citizens, not crosseyed hicks trying to overthrow the government.

Or they're employed, unlike the majority of the minority groups.

Knew I was missing someone out.

If this new bill does come to pass, how will it exactly effect Mp-05 and G1 Megs? Would they be no longer allowed to be sold to U.S. customers, would each one have to have its tip painted orange, or what?
