Ammo shortage forces Police use Airsoft to train!
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/04/18/east-bay-police-train-with-airsoft-guns-amid-ammo-shortage/
You got to know the ammo shortage is so bad when the police turn to training with Airsoft guns as a backup. This is the first I heard of an agency using Airsoft or any alternatives to conventional firearms and ammo to training. The agency is in the Bay area of Richmond California.
I guess so much for the stories that the ammo shortage is easing up?
"RICHMOND (KPIX 5) — A nationwide shortage of ammunition has forced several police departments, including Richmond, to find a backup solution for training rounds. Officers said the solution is just as effective as live ammo, not to mention cheaper."

Dear esteemed experts,
At the risk of asking yet another "is this gun legal?" question, I hope you can help me parse the 2C:39 when it comes to such thing as manufacturer licensed, BB or pellet-firing replicas of weapons that are enumerated as assault.
A perfect example is an MP5 PDW replica produced by Umarex. Edit: CO2 powered, shoots .177 BBs.
1. "Banned by name". "H&K MP5" is printed right there on the frame, but it's obviously not THE H&K MP5. It's an officially licensed replica which could as well be machined out of cheese or fine chocolate, so... But then again, 2C-39-1w says "any firearm..." that has a listed name, and this product is a firearm (according to NJ) and its name is on the list...
2. "Substantially identical". Despite being visually identical, this is not THE H&K MP5. One cannot expect, say, Secret Service or Delta squads to be able to use it interchangeably with the real MP5 PDW.
3. Limitations on stock, pistol grip etc -- do not seem to apply because this weapon doesn't match the 2C-39 definition of a "rifle" or a "shotgun".
4. High-capacity magazine -- definitely evil, but nothing that a pinning by a qualified FFL gunsmith wouldn't solve?
What is your opinion?
Thanks,
G.

After Karina, there where laws passed to prevent the seizure and confiscation of legally owned firearms during an emergency. Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act H. R. 5013 - Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006 (known as the Vitter Amendment) H. R. 5441

And it's sad because there's a lot to like, especially South NJ, the North West, and the Beaches. Like Washington State, the Illiberals have managed to take something good and totally destroy it.

I reached out to Ridgewood Rifle Club after I saw an AD in NJARPC magazine. Their email is "[email protected]." They're primarily targeting JR/youth shooters and their parents as they only shoot .22 LR or Air Rifles on paper targets. Here's some more details:
