I hate the idea of using a gun to hurt a human being or animal (yet would not hesitate to do so in self-defence) and I support the restriction of their availability. Having stated my position on such things the unavoidable truth is that guns ARE cool!! Partly because we grew up around role models with guns and because guns are loud and powerful and capable of stopping your enemy... see that guy over there without a gun? Congratulations! You are more powerful than he is. (and this is why guns should be restricted). But like rollercoasters versus reckless driving, when you and the gun are in a supervised, safe and controlled environment guns can be fun! Do it, you might not get the chance to again!
