Well I was reading a news article that lead me to believe that paintball and bb guns being used in the wrong way is not just happening in my home town.  This article was talking about how it is  problem in another state.  I think that this problem is spreading more and more everyday! 

"They ask us, is it safe, is there any way to get hurt, what we tell them is, if you can't trust your kid, don't get them a gun," says Scott Potter.In this article it talks about not buying your child/teen a gun like this if you do not trust them... however I think most parents trust there child/ teen so I do not think this is the matter we should address!!!!  I think that most of the incidents that have caused injuries were done by those children/teens that are "trusted"! 

You never know what your child could be planning, wanting to experience, or the influence they are getting.  So you could prepare for the worst and plan for the best... When I say prepare for the worst, I mean to warn your child/teen of the dangers behind the "toy" and the cosequences if they use it in the wrong way.   "Potter does not sell air guns to anyone under 18 and teaches responsibility to both parents and kids about owning the guns but in the end, if used properly he says they are a whole lot of fun."  This quote goes to show that he is planning ahead and does not judge each person he sells one to, he simply warns evveryone ahead of time.
