I want an airsoft pistol badly, I am 16 and have wanted one for a long time.My dad had one as a kid so he doesn't mind but my mom is the opposite. She doesnt like the realistic aspect of airsoft guns and she dreads it everytime I ask for one. She doesnt like the things you can do with them all that that Bull so, any ideas on how to help her change her mind?
Money is not a problem, I am willing to buy it myself just I dont want to be the brat or evil guy and buy it without my parent's permission and have them get all angry and mostlikely tear up the house looking for it. I know hiding spots they dont or wouldnt think of but still not the way I wanna handle this situation. I might just buy one and have my friend hold on to it for a few years.
Oh please refrain from adding I am gay and stuff , I am not just it wouldnt be the best way to handle the situation in my opinion by shouting I am buying one of this wether you like it or not.
oh alright so someone suggested telling her about the safety of it, is that a good idea ? my dad is concerned about the the law surounding these things does anyone know a site where i can find the legal aspects of owning one of these ?
Answer
Show them statistics.
Tell them it is just a gun that shoots plastic BB's.
If they really have a problem that it might hurt somebody, get a lower grade FPS(Feet Per Second) around maybe 270 for a handgun. That isn't even enough to make a mark on skin(except for the eye, better leave that out).
Tell them you will were eye protection.
Go over to a friend that has it and show them how safe it is.
It also does not resemble a gun in any way unless you get up in the $600 category. It has an orange tip, and the models are completely off.
For a safe, low FPS(but still good) airsoft gun, try this:

For target shooting(not battles)eye protection, try these:

For shooting at friends/battles, try these:

*Edit* Here are the exact laws surrounding areas of the U.S.
Under Federal Law,
Airsoft guns are not classified as firearms and are legal for all ages under federal law, as well as the laws in each state. However, in some major cities and population centers the definition of a firearm within their respected ordinances includes propulsion by spring or compressed air, thus subject to applicable laws.
A 6 mm minimum orange tip must be present on the barrel end of the airsoft gun to identify it as such for any commercial sales. [1] Once sold, local laws may vary on whether or not the orange tip must be kept - in many places, no laws exist restricting one from removing or replacing the orange tip, but one should check the local laws before making such a modification.
Airsoft guns' trademarks must be removed where the manufacturer does not have an existing license agreement with the manufacturer of the real fire arm. For example: Classic Army has a licensing agreement with Armalite, so the trademarks can stay on imported replicas of Armalite's weapons. In practice enforcement is hit or miss. You might get an "unlicensed" gun through customs with trademarks intact, while a licensed gun might be held in Customs by an uninformed customs agent. House Resolution 607, sponsored in early 2007, would change this if passed, allowing imports to retain trademarks even if there is no agreement between the real firearms manufacturer and the replica manufacturer.[2]
In addition, the similarity between genuine firearms and airsoft replicas is close enough to provoke interaction with local law enforcement personnel if an airsoft gun is carried openly in public.
If someone were to, for example, attempt a robbery with an airsoft gun, they would be charged as if the airsoft gun were a real firearm.[citation needed]
New York City requires that all realistic toy or imitation firearms be made of clear or brightly colored plastics; furthermore, New York City makes possession of any pistol or rifle or similar instrument in which the propelling force is a spring or air, unlawful without a license. See New York City Administrative Code § 10-131(b) and New York City Administrative Code § 10-131(g)(1)(a)[3]. The rest of New York State is unaffected by these laws, and there are no state regulations limiting or prohibiting airsoft.
Michigan allows the purchase of Airsoft guns. However, they must have an orange tip on the barrel.
Texas allows Airsoft guns to be owned but most cities require that the Airsoft guns be discharged only while outside city limits.
Some cities in Illinois considers shipping or distributing airsoft guns illegal. It is officially now not illegal to remove the red top of the airsoft gun
According to New Jersey state law, airsoft guns are classified as firearms, and therefore, must follow state firearm laws regarding possession and purchase. Due to this, "technically", airsofts are legal in New Jersey. If you are going to play, you must do so on a private property.
In Minnesota, It is illegal for a child under the age of 14 to possess an Airsoft gun unless under the supervision of a parent or adult. It is also illegal for any child under 18 to purchase an Airsoft gun without parental permission. In Saint Paul and Minneapolis, airsoft guns cannot be carried in public unless they either have an orange tip, are clear, or brightly colored. Airsoft guns also cannot be carried in public if they have a laser attached. It is legal to possess Airsoft guns in these cities as long as they are transported in a closed and fastened gun case (in accordance with Minnesota firearm transportation laws) and unloaded. The vast majority of municipalities in Minnesota ban the firing of an Airsoft gun within the city limits.

What are some crafts to make with 6 and 8 year old kids?
my cousins come over all the time and they are 6 and 8 and we ALL enjoy Arts & Crafts. What are some things we can make? Please list LOTS of ideas and you dont have to add this but it would be VERY helpful: add materials needed and/or instructions.
Answer
I would recommend checking out www.crayola.com. There are several age appropriate crafts including seasonal activities, holiday art and back to school prep.
Paint is a fantastic medium that has many possibilities. You can use cut sponges, toy cars, plastic silverware, cotton balls, leaves, even vegetables and much more to make different designs on paper. You can also make paint by adding food coloring to different items (Karo syrup, shaving cream, baby shampoo) to see what kind of art results you'll get. Just remember to cover table tops and all work areas with newspaper or plastic and to wear an art smock or coverup.
Paper mache and homemade fossils (google for recipe) are bigger projects but just as fun.
Wrap a piece of tape, sticky side out on each child's arm. Go on a nature walk and find unique plants or flowers to stick to the tape. When you're home, cut off the tape and place another piece of tape over it. Mark with perminant marker the date and use as a book mark. You can also use a hole punch to punch a hole in the top and tie a ribbon through it.
Clear contact paper is great for projects too. You can find leaves, flowers, etc. to press then place between sheets of contact paper. Cut out to desired shape to hang from windows, use as coasters, or make a mobile.
Good luck with your crafts!!
