Obviously an assault weapon - I once had a Daisy BB gun that would accept a whole 500 round tube of BBs into the “magazine”. Could plink all day with my other 9-10 year old friends as we wandered the fields and never have to reload.
She was worried some one would go on a shooting spree with a bb gun, so she Brought one?
Makes no sense.

I am so STEALING that picture! LOL!
LOL...have at it...That’s how I got it!
It's in the Grandma Rulebook :)
That's because your 5-year-old wasn't going to break her things while using his slingshot at your house.
Your mom was no fool. ;-)
“she brought it to make a point during a discussion about gun control to show how easy it is to purchase a gun,”
Then she should have bought an actual gun and brought it! Idiot liberals!
