yes there are details missing but this part of how it is being reported should be cause for concern for all of us
Police say the toy cannon is considered a weapon. Most load it with gun powder. But in this instance police say it was a show piece not a weapon.
“It's not intended to be used to fire anything,” says Dave Nance, Tremonton police chief. “It's about six inches long or so. It's just intended to be looked at.
Ostberg's neighbor is familiar with the toy cannons. He's seen them before.
"Depending on how much gun powder you put in it, it will go through a wall, kill a rabbit or small game," says Trevor Steinlicht.
really?? kill small game or rabbits with a model cannon?? that makes it an assault weapon right?? it is called a cannon and it can kill...
GIVE ME A BREAK!! Poor supervision, and a lack of rules or training and the media has a field day.
My heart aches for the family, but this is going to end badly for responsible people.
