1. If a student has a concealed permit and a handgun in a classroom where someone intent on killing comes in and starts shooting, someone could get hurt by the student's gun.

2. Shooting firearms contributes to global warming.

3. God forbid that someone could be injured while breaking into your home.

4. Requiring the use of child safety locks for all guns will force gang members to use them when driving around town with guns.

5. The foreheads of all gun owners should be micro stamped for easy identification.

6. If all handguns were fired in one direction at once, the earth's orbit will shift...

The common sense definition of “gun control” is a 2” group at 200 meters.

2” at 200m? That’s way beyond control!

And if you're thinking I'm beating up on England, think about this:

"When Gary Sanders was pulled over by police he was sure he had done nothing wrong. The company director was obeying the speed limit and not driving dangerously. But to his astonishment he was told he had been stopped for excessive laughing. Mr Sanders had been talking on a hands-free kit and was chuckling at what his friend had said. But the officer who ordered him to stop at the exit to the Mersey Tunnel told him: ‘Laughing while driving a car can be an offence.’ If that had been the end of the matter then Mr Sanders, 47, would probably have laughed the whole thing off. But he subjected him to a 35-minute grilling, with questions about everything from his ethnic group to details of distinguishing scars on his body. And despite not being charged with an offence, he still had to waste a further 90 minutes of his time producing his driving licence and other documents at a police station. Due to the delay Mr Sanders,the managing director of Liverpool-based Spontex Workwear,missed an important business appointment. He said:'I couldn't believe it when he told me I'd been pulled over for for laughing.I was driving very safely in the Birkenhead Tunnel and took a call from a friend on my hand-free phone. 'He said something funny and I was laughing-simple as that.I never took my eyes off the road and was in full control of the car. 'Then I noticed the police car flashing its lights and the officer signalling me to pull over.I definitely wasn't speeding so I asked what the problem was and he told me I was laughing too much. 'The officer accused me of throwing my head back in a dangerous way, which I denied since it is definitely not something I do.

IOW- Don't laugh in England. There's nothing there to laugh about.

Actually in my game, anything over .5 inch at 200 yards (five shot group) sucks. If you want to be competitive you need to average closer to .4 inch groups.

Gun control also means using a two hand grasp of the handgun.

This is where target sport shooters win over hunters (not that either has anything to do with the 2nd amendment). Hunters have a much bigger area to work with, hit it once and you usually don’t have to worry about group size either.

You have to excuse my mixture of measurements.

I grew up thinking English measurements, but RF has been my passion for so many years and wave lengths are normally measured in meters. It has confused my thinking.

Sorry for the inconsistencies.

Thanks. IMHO, forced conversion to the metric system is a very strong argument against gun control.

That is a must with me, I shoot an XP100 221 fireball.

However, target sport shooters don’t have to worry about those pesky targets stepping behind a tree, or getting downwind and bolting into the woods. ;)

I have had paper targets dodge rounds.

I certainly couldn’t have missed!

gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars

1) Use more tacks or stables to keep the wind from blowing the paper.

2) Don't be shooting someone else's target.
