| I grew up with guns and bows & arrows in the house. I learned respect for what they can do.
I have never killed anyone or anything. I like to shoot at paper targets. My mother was very good w/a bow & arrow and like to target practice. It was a hobby of hers just like softball.
Just because someone has a gun does not mean they intend to kill or even intimidate. Some are simply hunters and enjoy the meat they bring home. I dont like hunting, but I do realize that it must be done for population/disease control. (a completely different debate tho)
