It's not the state of California, but a California congressman is trying to introduce a federal bill to redefine many air rifles, pellet guns, and air rifles as firearms.

Um, and this is a whole different, we've had conversations on this program before about how the technology on air rifles has progressed to a dramatic level to where in some cases, um, you know, some air rifles, depending on the quality and the size and everything else can be, I mean, people are actually taking game, bigger game with air rifles, with larger caliber air rifle, um, And I had I had asked this question.

It's a pretty little thing, isn't it? Tavernier, the French modeler, made it.

He's as good at waxworks as your friends Taubensee's at airgun.

Airgun, sir? What do you mean? Oh, put your hat...

and stick on the side table before you're tempted to do any other form of damage.

Very well.
