I also agree with most of the advice given and Brengun and twelvecarpileup are on point. I work for a municipal govt. and deal occasionally with media. Stress the positive aspects of the sport The health benefits and so on. Stress safety awareness and all the rest. When it comes to the guns minimize the fact a lot of them are 1 to 1 replicas or don't even mention it. Just be aware that in Ontario there has been a few arrests lately with people either brandishing or having in a vehicle a replica (airsoft) gun and it has been all over the news. Don't let them try to ask leading questions trying to link their article to those types of news stories. Just remember there are just as many if not more anti gun of any kind type people for every person into em and the rest of the population doesn't care as long as it doesn't affect them or their community. But the best way for the anti gun peeps to sway the others opinions is by pointing to the negative news stories...so just be careful.
