Water pistals, cap guns and garden hoses won't take out your eye the way a BB gun will.
YOU may supervise your children to the nth degree but I couldn't count the number of brats I've seen running through hotels UNsupervised, shooting BB guns at any wildlife they can find, and at each other. Shooting from one side of the pool to the other without caring who is in between them.
There are no arguments as to why BB guns are a good idea. There's arguments that you can minimise risk with strict supervision, but the only way to make them safe is to just not buy them in the first place.
If BB guns were really so harmless, you'd be able to bring them home with you.
