Boys at age 9 and 10 need direct supervision when handling guns of any kind.

Terrible. It does seem that these boys were not taught how to use these safely, nor was anyone around to keep them within the rules.

Before I share anything, I'd like some documentation for this article. Your link goes to an advertising page. I don't think "The Dow Chemical Company" is a valid source.

We used to have BB gun wars when I was a kid but not with pump guns. Of course, we used to throw rocks at each other too. I swear I never got hit in the head, really.

What does "LER" mean?
Where is this story in the Dow Chemical Corporation website you linked?
Where is the rest of this story?

How did I ever survive the almost daily BB gun wars I used to get into at this age...

Hmmmm... Something about this story does not pass the smell test. The biggest problem I have with it is the idea that a BB gun could fire a projectile from a distance of 40 feet that would penetrate a person's skull and half the brain behind it.

I would not rule it out, but knowing BB guns and the skull it seems to be a bit over the edge.

It will be interesting to see what follow up comes along in the next few days.

Bullshit. No spring-action BB gun can do this. May have been pump or CO2 pellet rifles. More crap reporting by the MSM.
