author = Captain of UAA ... dated February 5, 2008
As of the hearing a while ago started at exactly 10:00 am in the house of senate, Sen. Gringo Honasan seated as the chairman of the committee regarding the manufacture, selling and displaying or using toy guns.
Atty. Ernesto Tabujara represented airsoft or toy guns especially and the United Airsoft Alliance, since it is the name of the organization atty. Tabujara is affilliated with.
The bills passed by Sen. Miriam Santiago and Jingoy Estrada were justing pointing about the orange mark needed for the guns to distinguish it from the real ones. Fortunately, we already have it in the IRR and Sen. Gringo Honasan supported our hobby together with FED represented by Col. Estilles and other 2 generals.
Pro Gun and AFAD were there also and they also supports our hobby.
Atty. Tabujara and Sen. Honasan both agreed that the guns we are using are non lethal and as for us enthusiasts we use this just for FUN. And Atty. Tabujara invited Sen. Honasan probably in one of our events as a participant.
Overall, the senate hearing went very well. Sen. Honasan seems to be on our side. No bills to ban airsoft or replicas. Sole issue is just the orange tip requirement. United Airsoft Alliance appointed to the senate working committee on firearms legislation.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
Let's also wait for Jeffrey Santos to post the link of the video coverage of the hearing. He was there also to support the hobby.
