>>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.

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

>That's probably true. (Then again, it's also true that people with guns kill a lot more people than people without guns). But it had nothing to do with the court's ruling. They ruled that the 2nd Amendment confers the right of individual gun ownership, thereby making gun bans like that in Washington DC illegal. The court did not venture off into opinions about what is done with those guns.

I bet in the back of their collective minds they were thinking "If we make guns illegal, on illegals will have guns". Think the crime rate is bad now? Take away the right of the law-abiding citizen to own a gun and watch what happens. I'm guessing the justices had all this in mind.
