Minnesota court rules BB gun is a firearm

[Bang]

Prohibited convict sentenced to five years for possessing a BB pistol appealed citing a BB gun does not fire a bullet with gunpowder and in the classic sense is not a firearm. The state's description of what is a firearm leaves the question open. The court noted language in fish and game rules and ruled the BB gun is a firearm.

Talk about step-by-step bites out of our foundations....Minnesota is regarded as a generally liberal-left state....too damned many still have their heads in their roots.

Minnesotans are idiots... they elected Jesse Ventura as their Governor. He was great in Predator though.

I bet if he were still governor, that judge would be gone. Well, not gone but you know what I mean.

Fucking retarded. The end. Bring on the reset.

[gummy jones]

did he try to commit a crime with it or did they prove that was his intention?
if so then i may need to think about this one at least a little

if not then…oh brother

someone fill me in

then again, i guess regardless of what he tried, a bb gun is not a firearm so it really doesn't matter

A BB pistol is a handgun in Jersey and you go to jail.

For a number of years you could by a 44 Walker in NJ without any paper work at all but you couldn't buy a BB gun.....go figure.

Also a handgun in Jersey (as of now). You go to jail. If you possess one at your neighbor's house or your parent's house you go to jail. 5 to 10 years.

Ironically, the gang bangers housed in East Jersey State Prison (formerly Rahway) have weapons worse than BB guns.

Don't forget their great senator Fecalmater, the x comedian.
