There is a story about a guy with a .30 Vulcan that made the news... Don't want to get into specifics because the post will be deleted (even though it is air gun related). Let's be honest...it was just a matter of time.
Somebody did a bad thing.

General Rules - In order to keep these forums enjoyable and interesting for everyone, we ask that you follow these simple rules:
- Exercise common sense and be considerate towards your fellow users. The diversity of opinion and intelligent civil discourse is encouraged; by the same token: rude, lewd, vulgar, obscene, flaming, baiting, trolling, hateful, threatening, insulting, violent, or slanderous content will not be tolerated. You may challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully.
- Any member who threatens anyone on the forum, via private message, email, or social media will be banned immediately without notice.
- Self-defense, illegal use, or unsafe operation/handling with an airgun is prohibited.
- The sole discussion of firearms or NFA items is prohibited. However, the responsible discussion of the similarities between firearms and airguns will be allowed.
- The discussion of the creation, fabrication, or modification of airgun moderators is prohibited. The discussion of any "adapters" used to convert an airgun moderator to a firearm silencer will result in immediate termination of the account.
- Register using only one username. Multiple accounts may result in denial-of-service.
- Use good judgment when choosing usernames and avatars.
- Do not post off-topic. Please keep your comments consistent with the subject and purpose of the conversation thread. Deliberate disruption, such as consistent off-topic commentary, will not be tolerated.
- Do not post the same topic in more than one forum. Pick the most relevant forum for your post.
- Religious discussions are not allowed. This site is not for the discussion of one's faith as we feel that is a private matter best left off the forum.
- Political discussions are not allowed. We are in a very divisive political climate so be aware of your words. They can and will be used against you, and the shooting community as a whole.
- Publicly protesting the Rules or a Moderators decision are frowned upon and may result in your removal from the site.
- You will be responsible for your own communications and the consequences of posting or otherwise transmitting those communications. See Conditions of Use below.
- Clandestine advertising is not permitted. It is our policy to only allow sponsored vendors to have a retail voice on AGN. Manufacturing or redistributing multiple items for sale, for profit, or on demand is considered retail sales. If you are a non-sponsored dealer or manufacturer and you come across something related to your business that is either untrue or against our rules, please use the "Contact us" button at the bottom to discuss addressing it.
Easily found the story, definitely not representative of AGN members. The person committed crimes and deserves no discussion here…

I do believe there is room here to at least open the discussion. The OP did not condone or support the behavior. We should help each other to remain aware of those who would negatively impact our hobby.
If I were on a baking forum and it was known that someone poisoned people with our favorite cookies, I would want to be in the know.

there are people who have been shot with archery equipment and beaten with sticks. Pretty much a non-issue for me. Evil and stupidity lurk in every facet of our lives.
Just because it is in our hobby does not make it any more relevant.

The knucklehead was probably thinking “less lethal”. I know of a lot of squirrels and ground hogs that would argue that fact.

Why would he shoot the tree guys though? That's just insane. A 30 cal is going to mess someone's day up.

I guess they were assaulting the wrong tree.
I used to cut trees for people to finance my skydiving. Had more than one treehugger get pretty verbal with me.

First sentence
Used an airgun, a type of firearm.........
Journalism degrees usually convey that one has an understanding of the language, correct?
No minimum science requirement for a journalism degree?
Do 'journalists' even require a degree anymore?

My wife was the president of the northeast Ohio ONA (Ohio Nurses Association) some years back. Part of her training was how to deal with the medias.
There line was “Pretty face, empty head”. I think we all see that pretty much every day.
