Ever wish you never responded to a post and it would just go away? ...no offense to OP or anyone else ....just sayin
I am all about protecting our second amendment rights, but somethinghas to be done about this. Maybe there ought to be some type of mandatory safety course required by law before you can purchase a gun- even (especially?) an air rifle. We have to pass hunter's ed to hunt, and carry the card with our huntin license. I can't believe an adult, with no harmful intent, would make such a serious lapse in judgement like this.

Maybe require them for knives. Maybe for muzzleloaders with their 2,000fpe. Maybe all guns. Maybe only offer 1 a year with limited room so that it becomes impossible to take it to own a gun because you cant get into a class. Maybe make the class 10,000$ so not many can take it. See where this leads? Again, *&^% that @$%^. It's a slippery slope and we need ZERO new gun laws, or government intrusion, PERIOD.You give them an inch, they'll take 100 miles. Some of you sound like gun grabbers. "Kid shot with a pellet rifle, we need pellet rifle control laws". Geez, people. You can't outlaw stupidity. Take a gander at australia and the UK if you think "just one more restriction wont hurt".
