THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO CARRY FAKE GUNS WHEN EVERYONE IS TRIGGER HAPPY!
So kids decide to shoot each other with gel guns instead of real ones but get shot by other people with real guns 🤷♂️
What is the logic behind calling the company that makes the toys? Do you call the gun manufacturer when a mass shooting happens?
That’s americas sick gun culture for you.
Sorry not sorry 🤷♂️
Knew that was coming, who wants to start a dead pool? Live Action Shooter Game formerly known as America 🇺🇸
A gun is a gun is a gun you point it loaded or not fake or not your having a gun fight, who wins oh well we will see….
"18 year old man"? That is a kid lol
Wtf is a water pellet gun
Days since last gun death in the US: 0
Wow! Some of your POLICE are totally out of CONTROL! I hope he is charged!! This has to STOP 🛑
So they want to ban water guns but not real guns. The world we live in.
Bwahahahaha good. Stoopid games stoopid prizes!
Karma / Tamir Rice 🤔
The corrections office may be guilty but I have a hard time believing he randomly shot a guy who just happened to have a pellet gun on him.
I was just saying that , they look too real
Remnant of the Tamir Rice situation.
Except killer is charged in this case.
Wonder what's different?
What happened to it
Boy if you thought that colorful water gun was real…smh
