Portuguese Airsoft players are currently fighting for a new and improved law for Airsoft in Portugal.
For the past few weeks the Portuguese Airsoft Community have created a Petition to be presented to the Government requesting a revision to the current “Firearms and Ammunition Act” that includes Airsoft in order to make it fair not only for Portuguese Airsoft Players but also Airsoft Stores when compared with other European Union Countries.
The Portuguese Airsoft Community is currently gathering signatures in order to present this petition to the President of the Republic’s Assembly, Eduardo Ferro Rodrigues.
This petition serves to request an amendment to the legislation concerning the practice of the sport known as “Airsoft” and to the equipment used in the same modality, known in the Legal Regime of Weapons and Ammunition (RJAM, approved by Law no. 5/2006, of 23 February) as “Reproductions of Firearms for Recreational Practices”, in two ways:
– Change to the current RJAM;
– Creation of a new legal regime that contemplates the acquisition, sale, rental and use of Firearms Reproductions for Recreational Practices, without the current restrictions, unique to Portugal.
This Petition can only be signed by Portuguese citizens, but you can help by spreading the word about it, showing that the international Airsoft Community stands with Portugal in this fight.
