Tragic. While not firearms, BB's guns are still guns, and should be treated with all the same respect. Poor parent(s) and poor kids, one dead, at least two that will have to live with this for all their remaining days.

Treat every gun as if its loaded and never point it at anything you dont intend to destroy.

Rules taught with BB guns apply to real guns later in life (if you make it that far)

Spot on.

Yes. Good point. This is what I taught my son when he was given a BB gun. But then again I told him to treat all guns as real guns (unless you could see the water inside them) until it could be shown otherwise. Respect for firearms should be a basic part of child rearing.
