Modern air rifles...

... are a far cry from the "BB guns" of my generation. Anyone who picks up a gun of any description (outside of approved sporting use) should think to themselves: "I'm picking up trouble. This will not end well." Enforcing your will at gun point changes no minds and therefore changes no situations. It is a temporary band aid that lets you think you have prevailed, but, in fact, solves absolutely nothing, long term.
What a clown
