Not sure if that is the same. The first thing children are taught, even with a BB gun, is to NEVER POINT IT AT A PERSON.

Was this kid pointing the gun at people? The video I saw was blurry, so I couldn’t tell for sure but it looked like he was brandishing the gun in a manner that, to me, would have been concerning.

If someone has a gun, ANY gun- including a “toy” BB gun, they would be expected to hold it, display it, and use it in a safe manner at all times.

Good point.

Muzzle discipline was ingrained in me from as early as I can remember, as was checking the chamber to check to see if the gun was loaded.

The latest generation dies not share this particular brand of firearm etiquette

Video games and Paintball/ Airsoft gun shooting games may be partially responsible
