ATF Decides That Airsoft Guns Are Firearms
2010-11-12
Held, air gun (i.e., a gun that expels a projectile using compressed air, carbon dioxide, propane, or similar gas) replicas of AR/M-16 variant firearms that provide housing for a hammer and firing mechanism with substantially the same design as AR/M-16 variant firearm receivers, and mounting points for attaching an upper assembly containing a barrel and bolt, are "firearm frames or receivers," and are, therefore, "firearms," as that term is defined by 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(3)(B), and its implementing regulation, 27 CFR 478.11.
Ergo, if it looks like a machine gun, it is a machine gun. Because it's scary or something. Therefore we can regulate it as whimsically as we want to.
