The ATF will love this. Now they will be shooting 8 year olds in the back and breaking down doors at 2 am over an "unregistered bb gun".
BB guns? A pea-shooter fits the definition. All that takes is a large malt type straw, and some dried peas or beans. When I was a kid those, the shooter and the "ammo" were sold at the corner drugstore... course they sold BBs too, and the hardware store a couple of stores down sold real firearms and the ammo for them. (Pre '68, way pre '68. I was looking forward to being able to buy guns and ammunition from the Sears, Wards, JC Penny catalog, after I graduated from high school and had a little money.. no such luck, I graduated in '68). (We had a convenience store (not a stop and rob) that sold rifles, shotguns and I think handguns, and the ammunition for them, even well after '68. A whole chain of them in fact. The chain is still around, but have been converted to "same as all the rest" "Stop and Rob" type convenience store/gas stations.
