Can you just hear it already?

"You'll shoot your eye out!"

Yes I can hear the libral tear and jeers and all the whining already.

Elect Kerry and live happily ever after?

Has anyone ever done a study on how many kids get hurt from "stick guns?" ....Good grief...

[the invisib1e hand]

so do bicycles. why not take them away, too?

[Larry Lucido]

"Nonpowder guns kill an average of four Americans yearly"

This will turn into "Nonpowder guns kill an average of forty American children daily" by the time it has gone through a few translations.

Nonpowder guns kill an average of four Americans yearly...

FOUR!? These folks ought to be campaigning against balloons, garage door openers and pillows instead. They each kill more than four children per year!

...undermining the notion that such weapons are harmless in the hands of young people.

WTF? No responsible gun owner I know would EVER say that. My first lesson upon receiving a Red Ryder BB gun was "NEVER point this at any living thing unless you intend to kill it."

BB guns injure thousands of youths

Only if you aim right.

[eeriegeno]

A study has found that air rifles, paintball pistols and BB guns injure as many as 21,000 Americans each year, undermining the notion that such weapons are harmless in the hands of young people.

And CDC records indicate that over 42 million babies have died since 1969, a great majority of scalpel wounds to the head! Which is worse?

[Cold Heat]

LOL! so do those bow and arrow toys.

I used to take the suction cup off and sharpen the end with my trusty pocket knife.

Such is life............

When I was a kid (I'm currently verticle at the age of 54) we used to have BB-gun gun fights. When we ran out of BBs, we'd throw stones at each other. The fun was hugh, and no one was ever series hurt. I'm still gunfighting with my 23 year old son (today we wear eye protection). Boink... We count/compare blister shots. Only pump the Sheridan to 4.

[Terriergal]

Oh brother.

Well they kill millions of furry pests too, and hey, the good outweighs the bad. ;-)

"...undermining the notion that such weapons are harmless in the hands of young people.

This statements confirms my personal belief that liberals are hatched in some kind of bio-farm. All real human beings know that there is nothing anyone can do to prevent some kids from doing mind-shatteringly stupid things.

As a former kid myself, the list of mindless idiocy I routinely tried is too long to summarize here.

Only mild torture and extreme humiliation worked with me.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

My brother still has a BB in the side of his face at age 46 from a shot at age 10. He survived and so did all the rest of us who have been shot by them.

What a wuss society they are trying to turn us into!!! I remember as a kid being bored enough one summer day to get my brothers to help me gather sticks to store in our treehouse - when we had enough, we proceeded to pick a fight with the neighbors so we would have someone to throw them at :) ok, so I was a Tomboy......

[Chode]

32 of children younger than 15

these scumbags say anybody up to 19 are children!!!

[LasVegasMac]

undermining the notion that such weapons are harmless in the hands of young people.

My 10 yr old has a BB Gun and has yet to put his - or anyone's eye out or do any damage with it.

Of course the only time he gets to put his hands on it is when he is with Dad.

[jrewingjr]

[AmericaUnited]

So the moral of the story is that getting hurt with a BB gun is about as dangerous as having a basketball poke out your eye...

[John Robertson]

When BB guns are outlawed only cool, centered, well-behaved, religious, self-reliant, confident, honorable 10-13 year-olds will have BB guns.
