A Violent Epidemic
I could post 25 articles on the pellet gun issue. I won't because I feel stupid even talking about it. Here's the latest:

In all of the reports I've read, there have been no casualties except a 31-year old skateboarder, who got shot at a skate park on a Monday afternoon (obviously he is a leading member of society if he's trying to do an Ollie in the early afternoon on a workday).
This is pathetic.
But note: we are on the same path. Whenever "the children" or "the good of the society" is deemed to be dominant over an individual's rights, the following path and outcome is inevitable.
England may be more pro-active, but we are only about 10 years behind.
