Was reading this article about alerting domestic abuse survivors if their abuser attempts to buy a gun.

The gun in the article pictured is a CO2 pellet gun, not a firearm as such. Definitionally, firearms are weapons that produce their propulsive force chemically, not mechanically, thus this would be a type of air gun. Air guns would not be covered by such a method of background checking and alerting, so that weapon is not a good illustration for the piece, really.

I had a similar CO2 pistol as a kid that an uncle gave me, but I almost never used it because I couldn’t afford the CO2 cartridges for it.

Believe it is this one used in the article illustration.
