That's ridiculous. Get him one of these and spend the left over cash on delicious mallows.

For that price you could get him a real rifle.

My soon to be 15 year old step son always wants more damn Air Soft guns! WTF? He has real guns. Some .22s and a .223 deer rifle I gave him a couple of years ago. Ask for real guns not more toys! [bang] Ask me for a M4, MP-5, SAW, Ma Deuce... shit, anything but more toys!! He'll be driving next year and he wants more expensive plastic toy guns. [roll] That and an iphone. :P

Me? I just want a job with health insurance.
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

My son told me the same.  After a lot of questioning of him, he told me that going to the shooting range doesn't happen all the time he could go out and shoot the airsoft any time.

Oh me, I'm really digging the Moto Guzzi V7 Classic, a nice around town bike.  I'd settle for  [drink]!
He man, where are all the ads?

At least he has a reason.

In the past junior's buddies would come over and they wear heavy coats or long sleeve shirts and my shooting glasses and go outside and shoot at each other like paintball wars with the Air Soft bio-degradable ammo. But that stopped a couple of years ago. Don't understand the sustained interest when he has a legit interest in real firearms. He doesn't miss a show of 3 Gun Nation or Top Shot. No Nerf guns or Air Soft guns in those shows!

Could be a sign that he wants to shot someone, but doesn't want to hurt them.

All he wants to shoot is a feral hog... or several. Again, Air Soft does you no good.
