This:
...while tragic, proves that it was the kid's fault. #1 rule of airsoft guns is you NEVER paint over the orange tip. That's the only way police officers can get a good idea that it's not a real gun. Second, it's just common sense that you don't walk around your neighborhood or even your front yard carrying one, and you definitely shouldn't raise it towards a police officer.
So as sad as this is, it was the kid's own damn fault.

I have an MP5 at home fully black with a single point tactical sling on it. You would have no idea it was a fake. This should be common knowledge right now that you don't take something like this out of the home. If somebody with a real firearm sees you, and you point that gun at them, I do not blame them for shooting you. Although 7 times is a little excessive.
