Recall Redux: The Natural Slingshot

Slingshot

Ah yes, the slingshot - the small hand-powered projectile weapon we all love. A new model dubbed "The Natural" by Daisy was a "revolutionary" slingshot that is ergonomically correct. And aiming seemed more natural than ever before!

So, today after a 12 year-old was blinded, a 16 year-old reported decreased vision, and an 11 year-old lost a few teeth, the Consumer Product Safety Commission along with the manufacturer Daisy, decided to recall it.

Okay folks, a slingshot is a weapon, not a toy. Does anyone ever think that the slingshot might misfire and give serious injury? Instead of a recall, don't you think a weapon like this shouldn't be sold to minors? Sounds like a no brainer, you think?
