The gun that was "pulled" during the iPod dispute was a BB gun, and it´s time to stop that madness. BB guns have high capacities. Your typical Daisy rifle holds at least 30-40 rounds. That´s way more than you need for deer hunting. It´s time for progressives to stand up to the BB gun lobby and for the sake of all Americans to say "enough is enough." How many more male junior high school suburbanites have to suffer welts or bruises? Furthermore, the manufacturing process directly contributes to climate change. We need federal legislation to ban any BB gun that looks like an assault BB gun. We also need background checks for any kid who wants to buy one, and regulations making them single shot only.
