What's your feelings on BB guns?

     As it applies to getting into trouble with them such as these teens:

    This is a breaking local story and I'm wondering if it should be a slap on the wrist, prosecute them just like it's a normal firearm, etc...?

Sounds to me like the charges placed against them was right on the money... nothing specific to a gun , could be same charges with a sling-shot.

"All three teens were charged with with reckless endangerment, malicious destruction of property, shooting an object at a vehicle and trespassing"

Only thing to add is $ amount payback to victims ... but that usu comes later anyway

Exactly.

Tool used should not be a factor in determining crime.  Doesn't matter if it was a brick, slingshot, bb-gun or 105mm artillery.  Perfectly fine as long as it doesn't hurt a person or damage another's property.

Seeing it was willful malicious intent and more than just one time...They should have to "pay back" or do community service.

There is a lesson in it for them, by having to work to repay damages...
