However my shooting is 100% at targets. I assume that if responsible people do not own guns then only the irresponsible will have them. 28000 plus deaths by guns in 1999 seems high even for our culture. What I wish for is that some day we will have laws that results in jail time for every crime committed with a gun. I guess that's enough except if anyone has any good recipes for clay pigeons they can email me off topic.

I don't think anyone is suggesting banning the Army from having guns, fella. > Had there been four pistols with one > each in the hands of the pilots, 9/11 would not have happened.
