You really don't know much about firearms.
I do have a current fire arms permit and go regardly to the fire range with the Citizens Police Academy Alumni.
I have fired Colt 45, M16 and Shot Guns in the US Navy.
It was apart of my job.
I just like to joke around because you do have people who have no regard for anything. Fishing with dynamite makes good sense to them. Wiping out all wildlife is a G@d given right and who needs stinky permits to hunt.
