Why? 1. If this boy was going to do something illegal, I am glad that he was stopped (but since I cannot forsee the future, I really do not know what he had planned.) 2. He had only 1 real firearm (ATF definition) the rest (30 of them) were air powered guns. From the pictures I have seen, many of the 30 are what is called airsoft. They launch with air a plastic 6mm ball. These are a replacement for paintball and are not capable of killing anything short of a insect. If having toy guns is now illegal, and having books that are controversal are illegal, then the U.S.A. and the constitution, and our legal system are in dire straits. I am torn on this. Why?
