What's it like to fire a Daisy BB gun? It's an experience I'll never forget. Everybody knows BB guns are scary looking and ought to be banned, but I thought I would try to shoot one without any preconceived notions. What I encountered changed me forever.
I took a deep breath and determined to enter a Wal-Mart. A "greeter" met me with, "Howdy, welcome to Wal-Mart." I'm from the north. We don't say "Howdy". I sneer back at the microaggression and strain to hold back tears of rage. Barely controlling myself, I asked where I could find a BB gun. He directed me to "sporting goods," still smiling and gloating over his slyly delivered offense.
I go to the "sporting goods" section, a perfect charnel house where implements of sulfur, death, and destruction are openly and brazenly sold. I notice a BB gun just lying on a shelf. I reach for it as if it was a poisonous snake, wondering if it will go off when I pull it off the shelf. That's right, a shelf. Where anybody could get it.
I go to the counter and the death merchant asks me if I wanted BBs to go with it. He even had the audacity to offer me "Copperhead" brand BBs! How could this inbred hick not know that I see a therapist twice a week to treat my herpephobia?
I buy the gun and the recommended BBs. I'm dizzy going out to the parking lot. A passing stranger, attired in a camouflage assault t-shirt, asks, "Sir, you okay?" "How dare you assume my gender!" I shout back. "Sorry, just checkin'," he said as if my health was any of his business. But the worst was yet to come.

***Warning*** Frightening photo of BB Gun at link.
Are we talking the old American-made Daisy BB gun or
the current Chinese-made Daisy BB gun?
The one made by Bushmaster.
Oh, that one. Yeah, that one scares the dickens out of me.
Frightening. And to think that I bought one of these powerful weapons of war for my daughter when she was 9.
Thaat is a gateway gun to AR 15’s! You are truly an evil person!!
The whole idea of this article kind of FReaked me out until I saw it was from “The People’s Cube.”
I'm pretty sure you meant either an AR-509 or an AK-509.
Taking aim, I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth, and pulled the trigger.
Good thing you closed your eyes or you would have shot out one of them.
I didn’t think you could buy the copperheads anymore, I thought they all had to be plastic now.
inbred hick...lol, reminds me of someone here from Georgia.
It’s all good fun until someone puts an eye out.
I shouldn’t laugh. As a kid I was shot in my right eye playing war games. The BB was lodged behind my eyeball for 3 days. It wasn’t a Daisy either it was one of those pump up pellet style guns by Crossman.
This simply has to be satire about the limp-wristed journalist who almost wet himself after firing an AR-15. LOL
So how’d you get it out, with a fish hook?
It was a high capacity BB gun as well.
They MUST be banned!
I’m still looking for that infamous AK-15 Senator Durbin has.
Can you get those in .50 caliber?
