On a more serious note, this strikes me as a form of "settling for less." I shudder at the idea of a possible dark future in which air rifles are really common, firearms and ammo are rare, and one day someone in a legislative body somewhere says, "we need to license, limit and regulate these terrible air guns..."
I can't speak for anyone else's intentions, but I just want to make clear that I am not advocating any sort of "settling for less." As I noted, I consider air-guns to be an outstanding adjunct to powder firearms, for inexpensive practice and for those instances when discharging a powder arm just isn't feasible -- and I have felt that way for a couple of decades prior to the current "scare."
