Air assault rifle?

Just what is that, anyway? A pellet gun that uses some kind of spring load or compressed gas to propel a small BB is hardly an “assault” weapon. And rifling, if any, would be of negligible nature.

I cannot imagine of any successful takedown of a victim with just a threat from such a device. It would be possible to inflict some degree of injury, not likely of life-threatening nature, though depending on where the projectile struck, it could be quite painful.

Almost as painful as the homophobic slur is to some folk.

Never heard of an “assault style” pellet gun. Have they caught “Ralphie” from “A Christmas Story” yet?

I wonder why these yutes would yell a “homophobic slur” at a random stranger sitting on his doorstep. Was he wearing high heels, boxer shorts, and a feather boa?

Is it still a “homophobic slur” if they yelled it at someone who’s not homo-?

Blacks vs. Gays. Which of their victim groups do Liberals side with?

Shooting at a White man is not a hate crime.

I’m with you. Don’t watch no Oprah or NFL. Don’t watch their movies or listen to their music. Couldn’t care less if they can jump and sing.
