What kind of an idiot wants to shoot a tree?Of course not. Of the people I know, more own guns than don't and I don't lose any sleep over it. But AR's get in the hands of people who just want to randomly shoot up people rather than targets or trees or chipmunks, or whatever you shoot at in the woods. Some are criminals, some are nuts. Is your right to "have fun" more important than getting those guns out of circulation and unavailable to people who are mentally ill or homicidal?I've taken all my kids out into the woods and taught them how to fire an AR-15. They've been taking firearms training from me since my youngest was six years old.
As a result, they are far more responsible than their untrained peers. One of my son's friends showed my son where his dad (who is a cop) hides his shotgun.
My son did exactly the right thing. He did not touch the shotgun. Instead, he came home and told me about it.
Then I told the cop about it, and that he needed to have a word with his son.
Just because I enjoy the shit out of firing an AR-15 does not mean I am mentally ill. The fucking OP writer is an asshole.
