'I think the law needs changing so all airguns are locked up, full stop.

"A MUM whose son was killed in an airgun accident is continuing her campaign for tighter laws on the weapons.

North Wales Police have revealed more than three-quarters of all airgun offences in the region are committed by children.

And 64% of people injured by airguns or BB guns in North Wales are under the age of 17.

Eight years ago, George Atkinson, 13, died after being shot in the head with an air rifle while playing at his aunt's home near Wrexham.

His mum Jayne, 46, has since campaigned tirelessly for tighter gun control. She is backing North Wales Police's plea for a crackdown."

Yes. The airgun menace. Irresponsible parents fail to teach and supervise their children, so instead of "cracking down" on simpletons it's time to punish the many for the stupidity of the few. And the absolute gall of the dead boys' "Mum" who of course takes NO responsibility in the matter, but knows that SOMETHING is amiss and wants the world protected from idiots such as herself. HER son died, and SHE was the weapon of his demise, but try explaining that to the likes of her.

Boggles. Simply boggles.

Thanks to War On Guns
