Aren't guns fun? > --Lauren-- Yes, guns can be fun. Target practice and skeet shooting are mildly entertaining, and some people seem to enjoy hunting (I can't quite understand it, but it's true). It is true, however, that guns, as with any other dangerous instrument, are to be handled with a certain amount of caution and respect. If one is an idiot, one should not play with guns. Fact of the matter is, I suspect what really killed old John-Erik was the force of the explosive compression when the air from outside rushed in through the hole and filled the vacuum in his skull. I think my signature line pretty much says it all. -- Mike Conley U.N.M., Albuquerque, NM "Think of it as evolution in action."
