Anyway, I just never thought about it until now. It's like when you find out that you need to have a permit and safe storage requirements for gun Transformers -- for a lot of people, until someone brings it to your attention you just don't consciously think about the potential that these toys can be used as replica weapons. And again, it's because of a stupid minority who would use gun Transformers to threaten people that the majority of us collectors are inconvenienced. But anyway, the law's the law... so as I said, I'm not gonna be bringing my TF liberation kit outside.
Which is why it's safer to bring that little ceramic package opener I showed you way back, its easy and safe, though it's quite easy to loose as well.
