The thing was we were taught to use them responsibly.<br /><br />Like Captain Haddock, I too fired a .303 rifle in the cadets, since then I have owned and used several guns from a 9mm Luger to an AK47.<br /><br />There is nothing intrinsically wrong with a gun, it is a tool like any other tool. Problems can arise when people are not taught how to use them responsibly so this event should be applauded for what it is doing.ivannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-73140593897158428322012-06-30T10:36:42.035+01:002012-06-30T10:36:42.035+01:00F.A.G. indeed, I really hope that was played for i...F.A.G. indeed, I really hope that was played for in a Team America: World Police reference...<br /><br />These single issue groups would do well to remember that anything can be used as a weapon.

Never ever felt the urge to use them other than what they're for (sport and pest control) And as this event is doing, learned how to behave responsibly with them. But alas some people, including the powers that be seem to believe the only route is for the agents of the government to be armed and we all trust the government, don't we????Quiet_Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575652127079681825noreply@blogger.com
