So I went into my favorite highstreet store thats currently gone into liquidation to buy a brand new blue and orange flashing Quantumfazer Space gun (with real space effects..)

But it turned out that I couldn't buy it without ID

Feel really gutted..

The good news is that I'm going back tomorrow with my dad

But I left my ID at home... The old woman on the desk said she is awefully sorry but she can't sell it to me

You should've held the place hostage with the firearm.

TheVoice · 26 Dec 2008 at 23:32

They class that as an imitation firearm? Ridiculous.

V4NT0M · 26 Dec 2008 at 23:33

Something is afoot, neither of those look like imitation firearms.

IMO that's way OTT!
Surely kids cartoons have guns and lasers in?
Are toy soldiers with guns or cowboy guns restricted too?

OK, maybe woolworths are just idiots (or the law);

oops swearies in link

LOL. Bet you well gutted mate.

That "Long range rifle" is actually illegal now.

V4NT0M · 26 Dec 2008 at 23:40

Someone else saw something similar;

No wonder they're going bust. They complain they're receiving no money but train their staff to not sell you products. They're the cause of their own death!

V4NT0M · 26 Dec 2008 at 23:41

They wouldn't sell lightsabers either apparently...

Strife212 · 26 Dec 2008 at 23:41

It's Labour's fault btw, not Woolworths.

Implemented on 1st October 2007

• It will be an offence for a person under the age of 18 to purchase an imitation firearm; likewise it will also be an offence to sell an imitation firearm to a person under the age of 18.

V4NT0M · 26 Dec 2008 at 23:43

That law isn't the problem in itself, its what is classified as imitation, nothing I saw in those pictures resembled anything like an "imitation firearm".

cheets64 · 26 Dec 2008 at 23:44

Imitation firearm? maybe on Mars.

Strife212 · 26 Dec 2008 at 23:45

It doesn't say "realistic imitation", thats a different law totally, a "realistic" imitation firearm is totally illegal to sell now.

From October 1st 2007 it will be an offence to:

• Manufacture a realistic imitation firearm.

• Modify an imitation firearm so it becomes a realistic imitation firearm.

• Sell a realistic imitation firearm.

So , yes, you have to be 18 to buy the "Quantumeazer Space gun"

You'll also be a criminal if you paint the "Quantumeazer Space gun" black.

• It will be an offence for a person under the age of 18 to purchase an imitation firearm; likewise it will also be an offence to sell an imitation firearm to a person under the age of 18.

Note the lack of the word "realistic" in that part, although it was specifically present in the previous law.

I like how they cant sell it to anyone under the age of 18 yet on the front there is a 10 year old kid brandishing the "weapon"!
