I've used them to kill squirrels and gophers.......and one or two noisy cats. A .22 cal CO2 powered pellet can easily go 1/3 to 1/2 the way through a decent sized phone book, or even light sheet metal(squirrel tried hiding in a duct pipe).

That was what I thought was funny.

I guess I just missed that.

Shit happens, even really tragic shit.

I don't think anyone involved would consider this a case of 'shit happens'

Perhaps not, but but sometimes it takes a third party perspective to call a spade a spade.

Just more ammunition(pardon the pun) for the anti-gun crowd. Instead we should be addressing the fact that these kids were provided no guidance on safe weapons handling and were allowed to "play" with something that ended up costing a life.

Well this makes the times I played BB Wars with my buddy in days gone by seem a little more dumb than I had originally thought. Maybe we should have worn goggles.

When I was a kid a had a BB gun and shot my neighbors kid in the ass. He deserved it and I didn't regret the tanning my hide got when mom found out. She was responsible with me but kids are kids and accidents happen. Its a pity that he was shot in the head and died but taking BB guns away from all kids won't bring him back.
