Why is everyone attacking Shooter? You guys need to chill a bit. What he mentioned is a valid point. Parents are responsible for their kids and their actions while they are under their care. Morally and legally they are responsible and can be taken to court for the actions of their child.

That is why there are laws in most (im not sure of all states) states requiring adult supervision of minors with markers. As far as the whole argument about it not making a difference if it's a STBB or a milsim, I think it stands to reason that if a person was using a Spyder inappropriately a police officer will be able to recognize that it isn't a firearm except maybe in the darkest of situations.

Flip that role and put a TM7, X7, etc in the persons hand and I could most certainly see said officer drawing down and shooting the person if he comes around with it.

This is the real world guys.

I personally like a lot of the milsim stuff, but they have the right to protect their products and IP and would be foolish not to do so. Just as the companies that are copying their stuff were foolish to do so. In the back of their minds they knew this would happen. Most were probably just hoping they could make a good quick buck and move on before something came of it.
