    It's an indication of the societies wellbeing rather than bad gun control that these shootings occur IMHO..

    How olds ya boy Goblin? Thats some pretty good shooting for a first timer, at least the holes are all in a loose group. Big ups to Grandpa for showing him the difference between a rifle and a playstation.

    Thanks deanohit, Matty is 10. Playstation games are banned in this house! The only use it gets these days is for watching DVDs.

    Well, didn't my little post go awray !

    The purpose of my post was a little tongue-in-cheek.

    The gun control lobby often say "only the police and army" should have firearms.

    My intent was to quietly remind those people that no end of background checks will ensure that a bad-un doesnt sneak through.

    In todays "Dom" police found another criminal with a sub machine gun. And its not new, remember the basset road machine gun murders. ?

    Very jumpy around here aren't we ?

    Had to laugh at tv1 news this morning, going on about the "six dead massacre" in the USA and how the "lax gun control laws".... blah, blah, blah.
    FFS! It was a Sherriff's deputy who did the killing. If anyone can get access to some firearms, his position would be one of the highest.

    It did not come across like that in your post.

    The occasional bad-un getting through the screening is "small bikkies", tho'. The big concern IMO is the large number of stolen/smuggled/home-made weapons in the hands of the crims - and they don't have to be firearms. Some punk entering your house with a machete or a baseball bat is as much of a risk as a punk with a firearm.

    We do not want to upset the topic of discussion, especially around the heavily armed people who frequent these parts.

    I totally agree...

    It just brings me to an interesting point:

    My ex has just decided (without discussing it with me first) to buy our son an air riffle for his 10th birthday.

    Now because I do not know anything about air rifles, I have not said anything bar taht I would have appreciated being made a part of the decision.

    Could you knowledgeable and wonderful men tell me more about the item please?

    I think that it would have to be used within a fire range to be safe...Am I incorrect in thinking so?

    As he is under 18 years of age he is not allowed to be in possesion of an air rifle.

    He is allowed to use it under supervision though.

    An air rifle can be used on a variety of ranges. All provided there is a decent backstop to the tatget. Usual distance is from 10m to 25 meters.

    Thank for that, that is very helpful and might help curb my ex's enthusiasm... He does mean well (creating common interest with his son, and all), but he is accidents prone (although he's swear he isn't), which doesn't give me a great deal of confidence in him of course.

    How dangerous can an air rifle be? I'm not the over protective type, but I like to know the risks.
