In todays world, I beg to differ, someone with a good lawyer would turn this into a murder attempt even with a pellet gun.A pellet gun is not considered a firearm so I would say no.

Agreed but with the examples I provided (I used the same article you provided for them) the difference at 100 yards is 2 ft/lb. This IMO it is so small they are relatively the same. My point being is summed up by ahab post. I can't use a 22 quiet because it uses powder as a propellant (felony) but if I use air it would be ok (non felony).Remember the heavier slug will retain more energy downrange. IMHO ME doesn't mean shit.

Can't dispute that at all! In full disclosure I don't have the Kamala power of reading diagrams & such.
