Frog there is an abundance of idiots that shouldn’t have guns. Yes it is crazy to fire a gun in a residential area. The fellow who threatened one of the forum posters is one but the police claimed there was nothing they can do. Really? Well the same department did in the case of Campbell. They went out and shot him. Maybe the neighbor called and said Campbell was shooting at them. Who knows?
It is silly to argue that a cop doesn’t practice the art of killing people at a range. They use silhouette of people targets.
No, we go to the range and practice the art of shooting. We don't shoot with the intent to maim or wound, we are trying to eliminate whatever threat there is. Ask any officer if he wants to kill someone. I bet the resounding answer will be "no, not unless I have to". I don't do this job with the intent to kill someone, I do it to make this the safest place for my kids to grow up. But, if it comes down to it and someone becomes a threat, I'll do what's required to go home in one piece.
