The BBs went through a window and into the eye of a child that was being carried by her mother to get out of the way...once they had heard the noise and realized what was happening. She lost her eye.<br>BB guns are guns IMO and I know there is a law regarding having and firing guns with in so many feet of a school. I am glad it didn't pass. Think of the kids bringing their BB guns to school.. stating they are in that competition when in fact they are not.. kids lie. And what's to stop someone from then bringing a real gun to school. And lets face it even the best raised child .. most disciplined can "go off" over something.

I had a brother; but he did not have a BBgun. I married into a family of hunters; and our son and his cousin about his age did have. I made the rule; if you kill it, you eat it. Of course, my husband did not stand behind me ... and the first robin killed ... was the last as far as I know. Crows and blackbirds, that's different; but not song birds. This was 40 years ago ... and that son is now a 'gun collector' and strangely ... neither of his sons own a gun. HOOOORRRRAAAAYYYY for this school board.<br>DIEU TE BENISSE!! GOD BLESS!!!

They should use a regualr shooting range for their competition. And I agree there are a lot of kids that are taught to respect and us guns correctly. But others don't have a clue about the appropiate handling of guns~the circumstance John had is a classic example of a BB gun on the hands of a kid who's not been taught any respect for guns. It's a wonder that kid didn't shoot his own eye out. I'm glad the vote came out like it did.
