That article says the guy was arrested for shooting an airsoft.
And the law is enforced. As recently as October, a man was arrested in New Jersey for shooting an airsoft gun at a rubber duck for target practice, in his own yard. Idyriss Thomas, 22, was arrested in Glassboro, N.J., after police responded to multiple 911 calls from neighbors who reported seeing a man with a gun. Once police determined the gun was unlicensed, Thomas was taken to jail and charged with unlawful possession of a weapon. His family posted a $2,500 bond. This is news to me, I had always known BB guns were punishable by the graves act, but not airsoft. |

This is a sad situation
“In all honesty, kids who are charged are looking at mandatory jail time,” said New Jersey attorney William Proetta, adding that under the state’s Graves Act, a conviction could lead to prison time. “The only defense is to request a waiver but if that’s not granted, young kids can get a felony charge and their lives are basically over.” It would make some sense if actual violent felons caught a serious charge. BB gunners are felons regardless. |

I Shot lots of bb and pellet guns as a minor, oops The only time the town cops bothered me and some friends is when we built a 8ft trebuchet and were launching shit by some power lines someone called the cops. I do really hate MA

This is the most stupid thing I have seen. I know the reason behind, If a child doesn't start learning with a bb gun they most likely are not going to grow up and shot guns. We used to have bb gun wars just like the guys above mentioned. Normally we had a boundary line usually a few blocks one way and a few the other way. One time it was pretty funny but a friend of mine got shot in the cheek and he spit the bb out into his hand. It didn't do any long term harm just sore for a few days
