You’ll shoot your eye out with that!
Let’s all celebrate the birth of the Babby Jebus with happy volleys from our brand new weapons! Maybe we’ll make CNN like those trigger-happy Middle Easterners!
Actually, I’m relatively sure that even in Canada you don’t get 7-17 for anything less than manslaughter, though, and possession of a bb gun would be more like “laughed out of the legion” when it comes to punishment. Okay, so I’m still bitter I never got one of these…

I got one of these with my paper route money. I was strongly cautioned, sufficiently strongly that it was about a year before I tried to shoot my sister. And almost two weeks before I shot my best friend.
In my defence, he told me to! And you have to do stuff for your best friend, right? Otherwise how could you trust him?
I asked some kids to shoot me with theirs to see what would happen. You know what? That really hurts!
Well in the proud tradition of the Golden Rule and similar silly ideas, I did make sure to put one BB into my own sneaker and another into my hand before I did either of the above.
Teach me to leave the safety off …
In fact, this shows the wisdom of high gun prices. Had I been able to afford the Crossman CO2 rifle I actually wanted, rather than the Daisy BB I got, I’d probably be missing a digit somewhere.
Well when you’re little you’re not supposed to use all your digits anyway, so you wouldn’t have missed it for a few years at least.
