Yet another reason why gun safety education (Real education, not "guns are bad m'kay" bs) should be taught to all kids starting at a young age.

The irresponsible idiot will have to live with the consequences of his actions for the rest of his life, as it should be.

This smells of something other than a 'gun safety' issue.

My thought as well.

How dumb do you have to be to not know the difference between a 22 rifle and an airsoft gun?

This story does smell foul...

It also shows the stopping power of the worlds favorite round, the .22 LR!

Yup, only a few notches away from "I was cleaning my gun and it went off and shot my wife in the head".

I was at a friends, friends house and I noticed a broken window. I asked what happened and he said some kids threw a handfull of rocks at it. Later I notices 3 holes in his refridgerator. I said something to his girlfriend and she said his gun went off when he was cleaning it. Apparently his lever action 30-30 went off 3 times while he was cleaning it and made a nice 3 shot group in his fridge and window.
