Ball bearing guns, AKA BB guns. That's right - you read it correctly: BB guns. The Brits say these must be banned, too. You know, it really sucks that this guy suffered a spinal injury due to a BB gun. When I was a kid, we'd ride our bicycles to "the hills" and have BB gun wars. I have a friend who still has a BB in his side. Guess what? Nobody got their picture in the paper, and pretty much nobody cared. It's an accident, and it sucks. But the guns aren't to blame.
Those who hold that there's no "slippery slope" with respect to gun control should pay attention to this article. It could happen here. What's next? Ban pictures of guns?
