I have heard the position that no media about airsoft is the bst thing for the sport because in the modern media it is more likely to have airsoft demonized than supported and that there will be more kids getting shot by cops than anything else. Bad things need to happen to justify banning the sport for all. Some kids played airsoft in a school once when the school was left unlocked for a weekend. I believe Nova shared that story from his reading on some Minnesota site. These are the things the media cares about to get up their ratings, not what good things airsofters do.

They played airsoft in their school? Always wanted to do that, but I wasn't that stupid. Anyways, I agree that most press is bad press when it comes to airsoft. However, at the last Red Storm East the local paper and tv news reported on it and it wasn't bad press.

I agree. That was good press. National news will rarely be good press though. NBC, CNN, etc will talk about the cop shooting the kid mistaking an airsoft gun for a real one and they say that no state regulates airsoft good enough and that airsoft guns should all be pink and the world would become magically better.
