>There is a resort town close to here called Big Bear. It's up in the mountains, and I took my family up there Thursday through Sunday. They have a shooting range inclduing Trap, which I went to. I brought my own shotgun on Saturday and shot with my 15 year old daughter. On Sunday, there were more people there, and the range owner let me use his shotgun to shoot trap again.

>There were close to 20 shooters out there, of all ages from 9 years old and up. My 5 years old son sat with my wife and watched while I shot Trap.

>No one got shot. No one commited a crime. No one was unsafe. On either day. Statistics have proven over and over that the majority of legal gun owners don't commit crimes with guns.

Indeed the majority does not. But we are not talking about the majority here. As shown too many times, it only takes one nutcase to cause a slaughtering. Those shooting events your talking about are fine with me as well as long as they are safe. I've done that a few years ago. However there were great safety measures involved. However it does not make sense to have guns widely and legally available. A friend of mine used to hunt, He was checked at home regulary how his rifle was stored. He could only travel from his house to the hunting ground in the shortest route with his rifle.

>The Supreme Court was smart enough to realize that "Guns Don't Kill People - People Kill People".

Very naive.... why does one carry a gun? This is very naive and dumb. Guns are too often used to kill people. Sad... very sad...
