So funny that people who don't own guns, haven't trained with them, and in most cases, haven't ever fired one, seem to be the know it all's when it comes to guns.

I own some very sharp chef knives and prep with them often. I could easily chop the tip of a finger off if I wasn't careful. Am I an idiot for owning the knives?

I use to do a lot of woodworking using power tools that would seriously **** you up if you weren't careful. Am I an idiot for using those tools?

I drive around in a 4,200 pound SUV that could kill people if I wasn't careful. Am I an idiot for owning the SUV?

Some of you guys' logic is whacked. Bet you $100 that if we went to the range and I let you shoot off fifty rounds you'd come around. It's really fun and there's some nice positive adrenaline involved.
