That "BB gun" looks like a replica airsoft Walther (?).
I've got an airsoft gas-blowhack Glock 19. From a foot away, it is nearly indistinguishable from my real Glock 19. Where I live, I'd never practice with the airsoft pistol outdoors. Neighbors would certainly call the police.
So, I can absolutely understand such a replica toy being mistaken for a real firearm.

Especially in a split second, life or death situation.

As said, you get what you get and you don't get upset. I still don't understand why people do this and think things won't happen.
There's a picture of a toy and a real gun next to each other out there, with some sort of caption saying, "Can you tell the difference? Too late, you're dead."
Trying to figure out real or fake in a split second? Ain't nobody got time for that.

When I get a chance, I'll take a picture of the airsoft Glock 19 next to the real Glock 19. I think that its worth viewing by those who say, "But...he only had a BB gun."

And I'll pose the simple question to those simple minded people, "Are you going to take the chance that it's not a BB gun, and how am I supposed to know w/out holding it?"
Hollywood and the left has promoted the false narrative that it is somehow OK to point a weapon (whether fake or not) at law enforcement.
The reality is that you're going to get shot, and more likely killed.
Dumb. Just plain dumb.

A $50 Colt Defender BB pistol that I practice with in the garage. Weighs the same and feels the same as the real thing.
LEO is supposed to make a split second decision as to if this is the real deal or not. Ridiculous.

And how about just don't point a gun at anyone if you don't want to get shot? No need to qualify it with "at the police."

I agree with that.

Beretta PX4 Storm .177 pellet gun. No chance in hell of distinguishing this from the real thing in a split second in full daylight, much less as it was starting to get dark. It's unfortunate that this kid wasn't brought up better.
All those pellet guns will have to be orange soon.

You know the "gangstas" will just paint them black and the same thing will happen.

A very sad and stupid way to die.
Even projectiles from airguns themselves can kill animals and people.
Education on this and other things can start at a very early age.

Same here - I had an airsoft that looked just like a Wilson Combat 1911 - only used indoors for training. Looked completely real.
See the problem here?
The news story talks about this young person getting shot because he had a BB gun.
No this little thug wanna-be Piece of Crap turd got shot because he pulled a GUN out his pants.
That is the reason he is dead, not because he had a toy BB gun.
Tell the facts of the story and only the facts.

Media is heavily biased. I don't know who leads who the media or the politicians.

They should be looking at who gave him that gun, there s a reason you have to 18 to buy these guns . I like the realism of these guns and can see the benifits of them as training tools but giving a 13 year old one is irresponsible.

I was called a racist yesterday over this stupid story.
Apparently the cop was supposed to taze him or something and he is a murderer and a racist. I also said he was racist for expecting the cops not to react to criminals just because they are black.
I said his parents suck and personal responsibility (at 13 an adult had to buy this for him and an adult had to fail to let him know what a stupid decision pointing it at a cop is) etc... He said I was making excuses for killing a kid. I congratulated him for at least getting that part right.
Whatever. The BLM movement is cancer. My Facebook friend is an idiot. I don't care what your skin color is you deserve to be shot if you point something like that at a cop.
I have one of these:

I fully expect to be shot if I ever pointed it at a cop. I would expect my children would as well (well not at the moment they are still really young).

Let me clarify I said my friend was racist not the cop. At no point did we agree.
I also find it weird that racism is the qualifier for every altercation with a white cop and black person. #blackliesmatter
