Even for hunting it seems pretty redundant. Your not likely to bring down a deer or anything with an air rifle. You might be able to stun a squirrel long enough to run over and grab it before it regains its senses.

Urm.....What are you planning to do with your air rifle??? Even if it is extremely accurate. The worst your going to do is blind someone with it. Unless you use it as a club that is.

might even want to consider:
Second Amendment (U.S. constitution)
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
to ensure:
Fourth Amendment
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be
seized.
no wonder you brits were beat down in 1776.

Curious? Why would you care what happens to the sex offenders?
Maybe the government got smart and finally sent them to a Siberian prison. I could care less if they are missing. The bonifide ones anyone. They don't need to be on this planet.edit on 6-3-2012 by Manhater because: (no reason given)edit on 6-3-2012 by Manhater because: (no reason given)
