"If you do not have the skills, no you should never go near a firearm or even once think of carrying."

Oh, that makes perfect sense.

But our problem seems to be that most of those who buy & sell firearms seem to think that, by virtue of the 2nd amendment, all they need to know is which end the bullets come out and where the trigger is!


In my area (DC Metro), there were 'only' two gun deaths reported on the news last night... one shooting in a 'bad neighborhood' and one 4- year old boy who found a loaded pistol in a truck and accidently shot himself.

I'll see what tonight brings.
