Guns shoot bullets. People shoot guns. Criminals, fools, and hunters shoot people. The NRA does NOT shoot criminals, fools, or hunters. Too bad, since the NRA seems to be composed of criminals, fools, and hunters. Which category wants armor-piercing bullets to be legal? Which category believes Saturday-night specials are used for sport? Which category thinks a man in a red plaid shirt wearing a bright orange vest looks like a 12-point buck? Which category ignores the statistics on how many people are shot with their own guns, or how many shoot family members they thought were burglars, or how many people are shot because someone was blazing angry and there was a gun right there? If Uzi semi-automatic machine guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have Uzi semi-automatic machine guns. But at least psychos who walk into McDonald's and shoot everyone in sight won't. joe Anyone who disagrees with me is welcome to come shoot me. You'll feel better.
