I mean, the grip that seems to bother people so much makes the gun safer to use.

The scope and light on the pistol make it more likely that the BB hits the thing you want it to hit.

What's wrong with those?

It's advertised as a toy for a kid. You don't have a problem with that?

Same with pellet guns and paintball.

It's a sick pleasure form of gun play.

Disgusting, really...
