The father is question is an idiot. As stated you do not leave a loaded gun unattended. Looking at the pictures I saw his garden was not suitable for shooting an air rifle in anyway.
Agreed, the father in that story is an idiot.

True, you could kill me any way you wanted to.....blimey, I shall watch out for you!

But guns were designed specifically to kill and in a maniac's hands can have devastating consequences....I don't think we should be turning a blind eye to this so that someone can continue to shoot origami.
