Sounds to me as if someone should educate the kid"s father, too. That mentality of "it"s only a pellet gun", is the same rationale you hear like, "it"s only a beer", or it"s only a joint".
He (father) didn"t spend enough time impressing upon the young man, that a gun is a gun, and is to be treated with respect, and that there is a right time and place to take it out and use it. Obviously, school doesn"t fit either of those criteria.
I"m far from anti-gun, by the way. I enjoy shooting, hunting as much as anyone could, but, when my boys were very little, I taught them gun safety, taught them how to shoot when they were old enough, and always had a loaded gun in the house ( a .22 rifle we kept handy for rattle snakes), but they never even touched the gun....
