      We have our own. We just aren’t bloodthirsty zealots running around with a rifle rack in the back window of our pickup truck that’s covered in stickers a 6 year old finds amusing. It will take something serious to galvanize everyone into action, but when that happens they are going to find out they accidentally trained a whole bunch of liberal soldiers along the way.

          Have fun and be safe! Target shooting is great fun. The motivation behind it is saddening, but let’s keep hoping that doesn’t happen, while we prepare for the worst.
