In NJ, BB/Pellet rifles are classed the same as any other long arm. Because of the way many local ordinances are written by clueless council members, discharging within township limits in many places is illegal and punishable by fine and jail time. In the northwest, most people and LEOs alike just don't care to enforce this silliness, but technically I've been breaking the law my entire life.
I'm amazed my Crossman 760 could be lumped in with a 7mm WSM. Makes no sense to me.

In Michigan, air pistols are already regulated as handguns.

The air rifle I shoot in competition can kill you. It's muzzle velocity is 570 ft/sec.

I have a .50 cal BB gun. It will penetrate 1/2 inch of pine and will also take deer.

Lets see, A plastic fork or spoon or knife from a childs toy could be deadly. Almost any part from any toy can be mad deadly. Why are the weasels singling out guns?
It’s just like those “Guns crimes hit home” PSA’s. Like no other crimes, “Hit home”?

Toys Or Weapons? The same thing could be said about tits.
Food storage devices or fun bags? You decide.

What is a gun? Are you talking slang, law or Webster. A black powder gun is not a firearm by law. They do not need to be registered except by that dumb blond at Sears. What is Auto? Who made up the term Assault weapon, insult weapon to me? The left capitalizes on loose terms to further their agenda. What is a deadly weapon, how about the NYT? How about abortion? Health care...

When we were kids we fired green Blueberries in our single shot air rifles. Now that would raise a welt.

Bricks too are dangerous. Between a thrown brick and a BB, which would these people rather be hit with?

Also, she got shot with a pellet rifle. Airsoft guns do not fire hard enough to penetrate skin. I’m sure they’ll leave nice black and blues with a little blood, but enough to make it to the heart, I highly doubt.
