Batfaggots have already screwed with a military supplier, Spartan Arms I believe the name to be, so I imagine more than a few in the military have no love for the kitty stompers.

Airsoft... doesn't surprise me. Airsoft IS a good trainer for both marksmanship and close quarter tactics. Of course you can also expect some of the gov's motivation to pumping as much fear into people as possible, getting them used to submit to everything. Someday someone's gonna pull their card.
