From Arnie's Airsoft - http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/news2/31479
"Hello News Fairy,
I have positive news to report. We will live to fight another day. The results of yesterday’s hearing in front of the Committee on Public Safety are in and it looks as if SB 798 is dead in the water. Failed passage, to be precise. "

Saw that on Arnies myself. Good news, but failure rarely stops politicians.
There's no kill switch on awesome!
Re: The end of SB798?
As the guy at Pyramid Airsoft said in that link:
"This doesn't mean we should all just relax and let our guard down. SB 798 should be a severe wake-up call that we, as an industry, need to shape up and make safety and responsible gun ownership (real or Airsoft) a top priority. Realize that this is a controversial hobby in the eyes of the general public and a pretty easy target for politicians like de Leon. As we've seen, if we are not careful, we could lose everything. We came awfully close. But enough of the lecturing for now. Break out the Airsoft Champagne (or Sparkling Cider if you're not of legal age)."

Re: The end of SB798?
Good to hear it. But they are right, the politicians never stop and they never let up. Common sense is a virtue none of them have. We might try to get the NRA in on this, they seem to be the only lobby that scares all the "doo gooders"
