People in this era do not give much attention about the injuries and fatalities that a pellet gun can inflict. You can see all over the news that people and properties are shot with pellet gun due to misconduct, carelessness or plain mischief. More often than not, the most victims are children and infants, basically those who cannot defend themselves

Mischief-makers have a habit of employing pellet guns in their shenanigans. They even have the gall to shoot at authorities. In Portland, there was a police car that was shot with a pellet gun. The patrol car was just responding to an emergency call that a car was being shot by pellet guns.

In fact, even secured and celebrated events are not exempt from these vandals. In the past, cyclists in the Tour de France were shot with a pellet gun. Julian Dean, a New Zealander and Oscar Freire, a Spaniard both suffered light injuries from a shot.

Freire had a pellet removed from his leg and Dean was hit on a finger on his left hand. The question that comes to people’s minds is “do these bullies want to have their 15-minute of fame by hurting others”?

People get the wrong idea that a pellet gun is not deadly, this has been disproved when a 13-year old Canadian boy died when he was accidentally shot at with a pellet gun. The boy who shot the other teenager was only 17-years old, he was charged with criminal negligence resulting in death after the incident. The two boys stole the pellet gun and were passing it around between them when it went off hitting the younger one in the upper body.

A lot of pellet guns are freely sold to anyone over 18 making it almost easily accessible for anyone. A pellet gun has the same velocity as a .22 caliber rifle, making a dangerous gun easily accessible to criminals.

Parents and the authorities need know that pellet guns should never be considered as toys. In the guise of recreation, a lot of injuries occurred because they are shot with pellet guns.

Those who have no idea how to handle guns are often the victims, these victims are mostly Children and young teens. People should consider this idea before they buy this gun especially if they have children who might get tempted to play with it.
