Why is the Airsoft Initiative not in contact with provincial governments?
Airsoft guns in Canada are addressed by the Criminal Code of Canada, the current Firearms Act and its related regulations. The Airsoft Initiative formed its recommendations with the intention of addressing the status of airsoft guns on a national level. As such, recommendations from the Canadian Airsoft Community addressed the highest levels of authority with proposed legislative amendments and policy mechanisms designed to accomplish our goals. The powers to address airsoft guns are not within the mandate of provincial governments.
