"...(State Senator Rick) Jones says the difference is important for the guns, which are often used for target practice or as training guns for children.
"I think this is what Michiganders and what the country wants: a heritage of young people properly learning how to handle a firearm," he said. "So using an air gun instead of using a firearm is much safer...."
Good read from WILX on the proposed laws headed to Michigan's Governor for his signature....like the safety and local lawmaking sections...not so happy about bringing up sales in big-box sports stores....but its a step in the right direction. Air guns are not firearms, but THEY ARE GUNS, and parents need to know that up front!
