. Airguns should be locked away when not in use they are a firearm when all said and done .be ing under lock and key minimises the risk of accidents RIP young un

this is happening too often the number one rule is that you should never leave the ammo with the gun, this is more dangerous than you think,

 

i have the gun in my bedroom underneath my bed and the ammo is in another place in the house.

 

R.I.P.

Poor little bugger.

 

My dad always had air rifles when I was a kid, they weren't locked up, but they were always well put away. By the time we were old enough to be able to find them, take them out and cock them, the relevant gun safety was already ingrained.

It won't be long untill the government ban airguns because of people stupidity.

 

Sadly this is a very real possibility, the idiots in society always seem to be responsible, via their actions, for either banning something that can be misused or for seeing a government introduce an entirely ineffectual piece of legislation at huge cost to the taxpayer.

 

The days of common sense seem to be long gone for an ever increasing number of the UK populus.

 

I think education is the key! like with most things really.

 

Education is the key, but alot of people lack basic education and common sence.

It's always a few idiots that will spoil it for that rest...

It is common sense to protect your kids from getting hold of these guns....Guns left in the house unattended is asking for trouble..

 

Too true, if you have young kids, then airguns should be locked up. But i don't think it should be compulsery for air guns to be locked up. It's like all guns, use your common sence whilst using and storing them. If you follow that rule then you don't normally go far wrong. But this realy is a tragic case. RIP

 

Lessons should be learned from this....and all who read this, you should lock your guns away
