I live in the hellhole known as California and as far as I'm concerned, it's just a matter of time before our state legislators start us down the path of airgun registration and regulation. Whether small bore or large bore, all it'll take will be one incident of mishandling or misuse and we'll be filling out as much paperwork for airguns as we now do for firearms. Don't think it won't happen - it will.
Phillip is absolutely correct..unfortunately. CA has a law going into effect this year..pretty much states that no ammunition used for hunting with "firearms" may contain lead. Yes..I realize airguns are NOT firearms. That said, how long til the anti-hunters lobby to change the existing law? Probably about as long as it takes them to realize airguns can kill deer..or maybe until a CA condor is found with lead airgun pellets or slugs in its gut from eating a dead squirrel. Think it's crazy that lead airgun ammo could be banned in CA? LOL. It is CA we're talking about. CA is always on the cutting edge of legislative stupidity and passing asinine laws..especially ones related to weapons and hunting.
