Sounds like Australia needs some liburatin'
But to be very fair, last I checked, this wasn't a very big problem in country's that have airsoft guns.
Obviously, when you initially de-ban goods that can be mistaken for weapons, there will be an increase in using them for such crime generallyy speaking. But in most country's in the world, there isn't a direct correlation between airsoft guns and robbery
Because first of all, most robbers that use them are cheap bastards and the cheap $20 airsoft guns, even with tips poorly spray painted black, look cheap and stupid as hell. But to a country like Australia where guns aren't around as much, it may be much harder to differentiate.
So yeah, I guess what you are saying, but I wouldn't say it is directly a long-term issue if dealt with correctly in the first place.
And not to mention, that just because it can, doesn't mean it will or should be banned because
And those who typically will even try or do this, will already have such motives or pre-emptive characteristics in doing so. Having an airsoft pistol they can disguise mearley masks and doesn't addresses the issue of who are the ones most likely to rob a store. The blame isn't on the airsoft gun, but on that person, and the society and cultural phenomena.
Also, loss prevention measures are already built into stores. Most stores in the USA and worldwide in developed country's have loss prevention measures detailing cashiers to always cooperate and give money no matter what etc. So its not exactly an ultra issue. Obviously, we can speak about setting a culture or precedent for more airsoft robberies in the future, but there are general wordly trends for stuff like this, and it hasn't been an issue, even in south america or S.E.A
