how is it SOME people think a .22 caliber air rifle is somehow more suitable for children than a std. 22 caliber rifle?

or a 35 Remington?

or a .223 Bushmaster?

once loaded (and charged) all are deadly weapons.

Before i get blasted for being an anti i should point out that my son had a 20ga with his name on it before he was born and i anxiously await the day i teach him to use it. i'm just not going to kid myself that he's more safe with a 800fps air rifle because 'more safe' is not good enough to treat the firearm any differently.

Not trying to be a dick here but it's a point that should be made as no doubt there may be one or two folks reading this thinking about getting Jr. a nice air rifle. When people get lax in their firearm handling we ALL suffer.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
