Under the supervision of a mature adult BB guns are a fantastic character builder, teaching marksmanship, sportsmanship and above all responsibility
+1 exactly! I still have my Red Ryder (amazingly) and plan on giving to my son when he’s a bit older. I feel it’s necessary to teach children about guns and gun safety. To treat every air-soft gun, BB gun, & paintball gun as a real firearm, they must be exposed to guns and know how to safely handle them and shoot them.
