I find that shooting cans is a lot more satisfying with a machine gun!
Ahh! The sight of metal shards flying about the room!  The holes the the
plaster!  It really makes my day.  But I ain't planning on hurting nobody
with it.  No I just enjoy taking it out now and then for a little target
practice.

Anyway, my grenades are a lot more effective for protecting my home against
vandals.  If any rude trespasser enters my home, I won't even have to turn
the lights on to nail his behind.  All I have to do is loft a sweet little
gift down the stairs, and my unexpected guest will have been dealt with.
Of course, this also involves the destruction of my living room, but the
results are so much more satisfying!

Some of my friends say I am breakin' the law, but if and when those Russkies
invade, I ain't gonna greet them with a little popgun.  Nope, they'll have to
get through the carefully planned minefield in my lawn, and then they'll have
to deal with me!

Anyway, its my right to bear arms, and I ain't gonna let those damned liberal
lawmakers take that right away from me.
