this makes no sense... isn't causing injury or inflicting property damage -by whatever means, deliberately or accidentally, great or small- already covered by civil and criminal law?

Read the story folks. The law doesn't "ban" anything except maybe firing a pellet or BB gun in a "grossly negligent manner that could result in injury or death." Read the actual law and you'll find it is nonsense.
Then look at the votes - every Republican Senator and Assemblymember voted against this (except RINO Richman, of course).
A veto is in order.

If you want to leave no loophlaes make a law adressing lauching any object against a moving vehicle: bb pellet, paintball, baseball, brick, pumpkin.

Guns are evil so let's ban them all.

Prosecutors, however, declined to press charges. They said a major reason was that unlike in the case of a firearm, there was nothing in the law that made it a crime to negligently discharge an air gun. Why? Because air guns are not on the list of firearms included under an existing law.
How about "Reckless Endangerment" or some such?
Oh. I am sure the prosecutors want a law defining air guns as firearms. That is what they are doing, not just declining to prosecute on other charges. I see.nevermind
