I'd like to thank the witnesses for coming today and also those participating by audio conference.
As a youngster, I had a BB gun and I was taught how to use it. My father taught me that you never point it at anybody and that you make sure it's not loaded. These air guns that we're talking about, whether they're paintball guns, pellet guns, or BB guns, are air guns of low velocity, as has been stated a number of times.
I think, Mr. Brown, you said that some 20 years ago a police officer would actually stop somebody, check the air gun, and speak with them, and without a problem.
I just want to confirm that these were your comments in your opening remarks.
