Thumpy's 3-D House of Airsoft makes a follow through on the story regarding the Online Petition Against CA SB798 as sent in by Crosman Corporation... "Our Good Friend Laura Evans, Marketing Coordinator for Crosman has posted an open letter to airsofters in California and across the USA on their corporate opposition to Senate Bill 798.

Crosman and other airsoft companies have been attempting to defeat similar measures for several years in Cali...even though a major portion of their business is clear-plastic guns:  they can see the dangers in failing to defeat this, for the safety of all citizens.  The letter follows a bit of background info that puts SB 798 in a different light.

Although Crosman is home-based in New York State, one wonders what impact this proposed sham will have on all businesses that tie into airguns and airsoft...and what spin off effects on the economy far from California.  Thumpy talked with Crosman's Jim Masseth at the 2011 SHOT Show back in January, where a 'Made in America' company explains some of their thoughts on the industry:

So, will SB 798 help or hurt business for Crosman?  Doesn't seem from Laura's letter below that 'BUSINESS' is on their mind at all...as everyone, including the California Legislature, should put the focus squarely on SAFETY.

Again... the latest info from our buddy Mark 'Dr. Airsoft' Vaughn is that action on the bill has been delayed until June 28th, so there is plenty of time for you to pick up a phone, log in to your e-mail, Tweet, Facebook and IM your friends and foes on the House Floor and in California as a whole --- and share Crosman's message along with your own.
