You can easily find enough stupid people on YouTube to keep you entertained 24/7. You can start with "Tannerite" "gun fails", "dieseling air rifle", "dumb boaters" etc etc etc. Almost aways ends with "Seemed like a good idea at the time".

All I have to do is go to the nearest gas station or drive down any major public road to see plenty of stupid people.
I'm super hopeful for the future!

The problem is, most of the public just don't understand how far and over what area gun projectiles can land in after hitting something else. Over the years I have been involved in a number of inquiries and investigations on all sorts and sizes of projectiles that have gone where they shouldn't after going into soft sand or soil, including 50 calibre machine guns bullets turning through 90 degrees to land in someone's garden, or cannon calibre rounds going through a solid wall after going into a sand berm. This is why the military have spent millions on research into ricochets.
Unfortunately ricochets can be lethal, some of my colleagues were involved in an investigation where a child had been killed by a ricochet while in the middle of a field. It is very rare, but it can and does happen. This was why I was very careful when asked to estimate possible impact points for safety area calculations, I didn't want to be the one responsible for anyone being hurt, or for damaging ships, or shooting down helicopters, fast jets etc.

This guy went onto my page to comment about how "weak" my airguns are, what a loser, clearly doesn't understand the importance of property and human safety.

Sadly you can't regulate the stupid out of people.
The stupidity will never change and wont stop. I remember when we were growing up that "Stupid should hurt"... and boy or boy did it. The young people of today have never had their butts whooped by their dads leather belt, nor do some of them even have a dad to do that.
This wasn't the same moron that was telling people to put oil in their spring guns to get higher velocities is it? Commented a few times on his videos and he doesn't like the comments

All this brings a couple of things to mind.
"There are two types of people. Those that are interested in controlling others and those that aren't." - R. A. Heinlein
And..
"You never look good while trying to make someone else look bad."
Carry on,

He sounds well versed... probably can't legally own a firearm where he lives... or because of his past, so he carries that instead.

As for them restricting air guns, we already have states doing that and it's technically illegal to shoot an air rifle in the city limits. The loophole is if you're on your own private property and don't be a jack wagon with them, they tend to not care because the average Joe thinks pellet guns are "just bb guns". People have no idea how advanced they've become. When I show some off to my friends and family they're always like "that's a pellet gun!?!?!"
I do agree it'll be a matter of time before they do catch on and start banning them at a federal level. Like the asshat in the car, if he pulls that out and blast someone 9 times it'll definitely maim and or kill them. Or someone goes nuts with a hatsan blitz 30 cal, you could do alot of damage with one of those.

I have seen a whole bunch of videos on YouTube lately that make me cringe. Especially the one where the guy is bragging up the power on a hp max 45. Those things don't need posting.

Just like with firearms, when they get what they want with those, air guns will be next on the list....and idiots like these people just add fuel to the fire.

We got guys taking white tail with 30 cal AEAs, that's plenty of power to drop a 2 legged critter too.
The way I see it, if you got someone who carries an air weapon to "defend" themselves probably doesn't have 2A rights and shouldn't be carrying anything lethal. You can buy a firearm for much cheaper than an air rifle needed to "defend" yourself with.

Yeah, your right. Also, this I don't have experience with though, seems the air rifle would almost be as quiet as a suppressed rifle.

Ha, WAAAAYYY quiter than a rifle with a suppressor, even with sub sonic rounds a real firearm is still friggin loud with a can. The movies make it like you can shoot a 9mm 15 times at a dude in his bed and his wife doesn't even wake up.

Honestly what kind of poser totes around an airgun for protection? Lol. Sounds like a trouble maker who needs to be taken behind the wood shed lol.
