Shooting extremities doesn't work in real life and the poorly-aimed rounds will go through walls, etc. until they hit something, hopefully not an innocent person. The only acceptable place to aim is center of mass. If you can disable someone with a limb shot, you are not in enough danger to justify deadly force.

I completely disagree. Gun ownership is a lot like licensing for cars. You don't have to be good at it, just good enough to prove to an instructor that you can aim it in the right direction and make it go.

Agreed. Almost any drug dealer other than the guy who sells pot to his college friends will have enough connections to be able to get illegal guns because of the almost inevitable tie-in with organized crime. I've never heard of someone having problems finding drugs, and people don't tend to specialize in black market activities, they do what makes them money.
