| As a collector of all things air guns I've | | | | responsible and safe bb gun owners. By using |
| seen sweeping changes in not just the way air | | | | a bb or pellet gun for something like robbery |
| and bb guns are cared for but have also seen | | | | only adds fuel to the fire of many who would |
| a dramatic and welcomed increase in safety | | | | like to see even recreations guns like bb |
| awareness. Handling any type of gun, be it a | | | | guns outlawed or severely restricted. |
| true firearm or a bb gun can be dangerous in | | | | |
| irresponsible, or untrained hands. It seems | | | | As an owner of many different types of air |
| that no matter where you turn these days | | | | guns it is sometimes a difficult pill to |
| someone is reported as misusing their gun. | | | | swallow when I watch the news and see people |
| | | | acting in such cruel fashion and using |
| My collection mainly consists of electric | | | | weapons to impose their will on others. I |
| airsoft guns and air rifles which for the | | | | think that perhaps it so difficult to watch |
| most part mimic their firearm cousins and so | | | | for two reasons. The first and most |
| safety remains a top priority even when I'm | | | | important, people are harming other people |
| shooting cans by myself in the backyard. | | | | which is always horrific. Secondly I find |
| Luckily for me I was taught safety measures | | | | myself getting upset at those who believe |
| by my father when I first showed sings of | | | | responsible people should pay a price for |
| interest in things like bb guns and spring | | | | those who act otherwise. There is no reason |
| airsoft guns. Everything from how to hold a | | | | restrictions should be posed on the mass when |
| gun, how and where to point it, and | | | | the minority behaves recklessly. |
| everything in between was drilled into my | | | | |
| head by my very protective father. | | | | As someone who has always put safety first |
| | | | and had it instilled in him as a child, it |
| It's such a shame to see individuals make | | | | becomes ever the more exasperating to watch |
| such poor decisions both in anger and in | | | | people look for a scapegoat. As opposed as I |
| negligence now-a-days. Not only are those | | | | am to any type of violence I shouldn't be |
| who choose to act irresponsibly hurting their | | | | forced to pay for the mistakes of the few nor |
| victims and themselves but in turn cause | | | | should any of the others who put safety first |
| problems for people like me who are | | | | and act responsibly with their guns. |
