The problem with pellet rifles is that they are silent, and can not be seen on X-ray machines. Modern airguns are more powerful than AK-15’s. Although better for the environment, they are unregistered and have collapsible stocks. Anybody can make one with a tube and a can of hairspray. Plans for exploding pellets are all over the internet. Because the pellets don’t need powder and a case, you can fit 5000 in at a time. Most are fully semi-automatic, with the ability to spray pellets at a rate of 50 magazine clips per second. The wounds doctors are seeing are worse than being burned to death by a thermite grenade. Something really needs to be done.
What kind of monster just sets their kid loose with a weapon like that?
