City Bans BB Gun Sales to Anyone Under 21 3/15/2002 4:14:07 PM Send this document to a colleague.(KSDK) -- The board of aldermen today finalized a proposal that would make it illegal to sell BB guns to anyone under 21. "This is not your daisy bb gun that you buy in boys life. This is a powerful instrument. It's got a tremendous amount of pressure. If this were to be used to fire a BB into someone's head or throat it would most likely kill them," said Ald. Jim Shrewsbury, Board of Aldermen President. The bill would also make it illegal for anyone, adult or child to carry a concealed BB gun. Alderman Shrewsbury also says the guns are so realistic; many adults are using them to commit crimes. http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article_lc.asp?storyid=23803

    The town is just a stone's throw away from where I sit. While I definitely do not agree with the ban, it really revolved around the appearance of the airgun to a "real" firearm. The thought process went that some kid might pull it and waive it and get shot. Could again and has happened before. Once again, responsibility is the key....doesn't seem to be the way anymore.KC
