        A .22-caliber pellet fired from a high-powered air rifle isn’t exactly a toy there bud. Don’t make this out to be a plastic airsoft pellet gun. Those don’t kill people when hit in the chest.

        They bounce off.

          I didn’t mention airsoft. And that said, BB guns and air rifles can and have killed and seriously injured people. They are less likely to be lethal than a firearm, but they should still be handled responsibly.

          That being said, my point is that the NRA gun nut crowd ain’t fanatic about air rifles, they’re fanatic about firearms.

          Shoot’n cans on farm with a BB gun or air rifle is some pretty innocent stuff, and tragic accents like this are rare in comparison to those caused by firearms.

      Just another moron who either didn’t read, or understand the article, and definitely doesn’t understand the realities of living in a rural desert like southern Arizona.

        I read the article. And how about you see someone about that temper of yours, eh? Getting so angry that you insult random people in the internet? You might want to see someone about that.

          So you’re a perfectly normal and well adjusted person that makes unoriginal glib jokes about the death of a 8 year old, but I need professional help for calling you out in an manor that you find too aggressive?

          You make deliberately provocative comments and then chide people who get angry at them. You sound like a gaslighting psychopath, so maybe you’re the one who needs treatment.

          Better stiffen up, kid, or you won’t survive the Internet. If you took that as temper, you’re too soft to be out here.
