Mock the Mayor, have police at your door. Comedian Hans Teeuwen hada legal airgun. Police confiscated it because it vaguely looked like a firearm. He is expecting a court date. As with many modern "laws", a significant subjective judgement is involved.

Comedian Hans Teeuwen image from original skit, showing airgun on table to his left.

Webley Tempest airgun from the author's collection. Notice the distinctive rear sight.

If that comedy skit happened here, it would have been a SWAT team in full armor and submachine guns - and the comedian would have been shot dead before anyone discovered that it was a silly pellet pistol.

Then it would be covered up.

Don’t dis the airgun... the old daisey red rider shot .177 BB’s at 280 to 350 fps, tho’ 350 fps is probably truely attainable only after some benchwork.

A .22 high value airgun can pack a wallop and would have no trouble crashing into a skull with resultant brain trauma.

lol… our son married a Dutch girl over there. The last time there was a hostage situation at a club…. I called then about it. He said they were probably being held hostage with a knife. Apparently they forgot to outlaw knives.
I asked him how you could hold three people or more hostage with a knife.
They even evacuated several blocks.
It was pretty funny from an American perspective.
Needless to say when the grandchildren of the future spend time with us, they will have working knowledge of self defense… to include guns they can never have.
