The anti-gun lobby is ridiculous indeed. Sure, I agree that there should be some additional measures in place, but disarming the population is a very dangerous thing to do. I mean look at the situation in Venezuela, Bangladesh and Nigeria...I use these places as hivers are active there...All have issues with corruption from government and organised crime...And all have unarmed populations.
Anyway, we'll see how it works out with our young friend at the range on Saturday. If nothing else it'll be amusing.
