Well when I fire my Leica a bullet does not come out a million miles an hour
which then has to hit something. So I think its a different thing in how
often I fire my Leicas to how often i fire me guns if I had them.

When I fire my Leica with film in it a picture gets taken when I can then
print. When I fire my gun I have to drag the moose out of the street.
Big difference it appear to me.
Equating them seems silly.
