Lots of time especially when I am traveling, I read some post on the fly, Now that I am home I just revisited this post. It made me laugh as it is such a good example of how minds of a different stripe think. In my mind it would be perfictly normal to sit down and have a coke and popcorn with friends after a good round of firing, just as I would after a good round of bowling. In (guns nuts) mind is seems strange to us that you would not want us (gun nuts) to be good shots when we blow away the jerks that is trying to ra** your daughter. In our minds (gun nuts) it is difficult to consider not going to any place because the thugs after taken it over. One of the reason for that is that let one area because infested with thugs it spreads until there is nowhere else to go. In our nind (gun nuts) we see no difference of going into a shooting range and having a good time out shooting our friends than Brits going into a pub and throwing darts. yes I understand the ramification of use a firearm outside the range are much greater than darts outside the pub, but there are many people that like to compete in a range that won't pack heat outside the range. Now if anybody can find a way to take the guns away from all the thugs you would get my attention. Most of our gun laws in the US takes some guns away from some law abiding people and puts more guns in the hands of thugs,, thus more crime.
