Surrey teen's death prompts call for stricter control of pellet guns
It is always sad when someone dies, especially a child.
I have no problem with stricter regulations regarding the sale and use of BB guns. I do object to the call to ban their sale completely which I've heard in other news stories. We can't ban absolutely everything that causes someone's death - more children have likely died choking on food while eating supper than by being shot with BB guns, so are we to ban supper? The big problem here is more a parental issue. Was the house really a crack house? If it was, do we really think the parents there are going to regulate the use of a BB gun by the children?
Still, a very sad event...
