Two felony assault convictions and the question is whether a BB gun is a firearm. I don't see any fire, just a potential weapon. This might get interesting.
Type of rifle that killed girl ID'd by police But there should be no excuse for premeditated muder.

The logical progression would be to execute all felons, but that would be logical and also punish criminals not the collective; plus it would violate the socialist taboo on assuming responsibility for one's actions.

This jagoff has two, count 'em, two
felony assault convictions -- what's he doing carrying around anything that even resembles a handgun?
And some on this thread are insisting that technically this really isn't a firearm, so this two-time ex-felon loser should be allowed to carry it around so he has it available to stick in someone's face during a rape or robbery.
Yeah, yeah, I know. If he does that, robertpaulsen, then we'll charge him at that time. Uh-huh. Just a little to late for the person who was raped or robbed. Whatever happened to "common sense"?

"a firearm is "any gun from which a shot or a projectile is discharged by means of explosive, gas or compressed air."

Idiotic ruling. This includes nail guns.
Is this guy, and the rest of the state, now banned from using nail guns without a permit?

The appellate court reinstated the charge against Fleming, finding that a firearm is "any gun from which a shot or a projectile is discharged by means of explosive, gas or compressed air." It would seem that a wad of paper discharged through a straw, propelled by air compressed in a young person's lungs and mouth would fit this criteria.

This just means that you will need to get permission to buy a bb gun now.

... finding that a firearm is "any gun from which a shot or a projectile is discharged by means of explosive, gas or compressed air." So the BB guns that fire by compressing and releasing a spring are still OK?
