It's not really a funny topic but here's an attempt at humor on this topic that comes with a certain voice of reason on this topic. I can't tell you how many times I have avoided neighborhoods in my home town where firearms are routinely discharged by one so called human at other humans -- and low and behold I've never been shot or had a firearm discharged in my general direction. Well....except for this one time on my uncle's farm...but that' a story for another thread.
I own a few firearms and I do enjoy target shooting and the occasional dear hunt. Given the number of bad things that go on with weapons like this I'd be more than okay with giving them up in the name of making the world a safer place.
My weapon of choice in the mean time is a Colt 45 Gold Cup edition. It's a fabulously smooth pull of the trigger and a splendid release of power that is overwhelming. It's no video game pinkie. This thing would do the real thing in terms of damage. It's great to take several 2 liter pop bottles full of water out to the fields and just open up on them. The requisite beer/pop cans are also fun targets. Shooting clay pigeons with the remington over/under 12 is also a lot of fun. But....like I said I'd give them all up for the sake of a safer world if society determined that to be necessary.
