Next But One Moral Panic


So, right, the latest moral panic is about replica guns and air weapons. The chattering classes are trying to convince us that they can easily be converted into working firearms (not that these people ever seem to actually attempt to do this themselves - not that easy apparently). 'Ban 'Em All' saith the guardians of public morals, after all, all the people who can now convert an air rifle to fire actual bullets will throw their hand in without a ready supply of gun-shaped things to start with. Right ? I mean, that's got to be true, hasn't it ?
