I practice shooting targets with my tank for sport. It's good recreational fun.

What is the difference between target practice, recreation, and sporting?

Pretty much this. Same goes for someone who's really buff. I'd probably be more scared of them because they could legit beat the crap out of me. A knife can also be terrifying because it's so easily concealed. Literally someone could hide it in their shirt sleeve and BAM. Dead.

I honestly believe I'd just let them do that as well ^ I'd be outta there in seconds. Not risking my life for material possessions.

Let's agree to disagree and both move on. Neither of us is going to budge.
So you'd be cool with legalizing bazookas, mounted machine guns, and claymore mines for personal defense?

Sporting is actual competitions with pro shooters for trophies and money prizes. Very popular in parts of the country.

I'd say target, is well shooting these types of things to improve your chops. Usually done at an indoor or outdoor range



Recreation would be going out and simply having some fun. I'd love to have this guy's back yard.

No. I'm all for reasonable regulations. Now you're just being silly.

If a knife is the same as a handgun then a machine gun is the same as a handgun, unless you're admitting that there are in fact clear distinctions between all of them.
