And putting "wholes in targets" is practice for putting "wholes" in PEOPLE.

Sometimes it is other times it is about as closely related to putting holes in people as the fencing class I took awhile back. Swords can put holes in people as well, but most fencers, or even most target shooters never do put holes in people.

This really is quite simple.....there is no question that firearms are made to kill.

and that is irrelevant.

it is the human mind that does the killing.

I've carried a concealed weapon for 30 years, still do.....I've drawn 3 times....I've never fired a shot......I have protected people in grave danger....and I've been tempted to shoot a whole lotta folks in 30 years.

but living behind bars, sleeping on a cookie sheet....and having a roomie that might like me too much is a deterrent for bad behavior.

The subject needs no more discussion. Bad people and mental deficients use guns to inflict harm.

Now, I gotta go stir mah rigatoni..........
