That California would try to ban or limit the sales of BB guns is not all that surprising to me. But this run-on sentence by the Pasadena Star-News left me scratching my head.
The death of Deputy Mike Arruda in a shootout prompted by a man with a pellet gun that looked like a semiautomatic handgun has strengthened a police union's support for a bill that would make it a crime to display fake guns in public and brandish a BB gun in a threatening manner.I had trouble understanding how a cop could be killed by a BB gun. That is, until I got down to the 29th and final paragraph.
Arruda was accidentally shot by a fellow deputy during a shootout at a Motel 6 in Hacienda Heights earlier this month.His death is a tragedy, and it is very easy to make the claim that had this ass clown not pulled out a BB gun and started threatening people, Arruda would still be alive today. But blaming the BB gun is idiotic. Had the perpetrator pulled out a black cell phone or a comb, the exact same outcome could have transpired.
