Death by Pellet!

So,

I am watching my local news channel, and I see where a child has been stopped before a huge attack on his school. They are showing the requisite table of death, and I am sad. Why couldn't my Mom and Dad buy me all of that when I was little? One weapon alone was worth over 5 THOUSAND dollars!

Then, I started looking closer.

Dude! Those were all AIRSOFT guns! For those of you not in the know, remember the pellet pistols and rifles we had growing up? With the metal "BB"? Well, they have super-realistic looking air rifles now, capable of fully automatic operation. But they fire plastic pellets.

WHAT an outright lie on somebodies' part. Average people would look at that and think the kid was loaded for bear. Lots of them. Fact is, with the exception of one pistol and one rifle (a piece of crap High Point), they were all toys, closer to Mattel than Glock.

I don't know who benefitted from the incredible stretching of the truth, but I can tell you, many law abiding gun owners are going to wind up paying for it . And, what happened to all the medias' fact checkers?

PS - I'll try to find some video of the collection.
