    So if you know history and the foundation of the US government
    (at least I'm going to assume you meant the US gov't since there's
    not an American government), then it seems you believe that guns
    had nothing to do with the Revolution? Do you also deny the regular
    use of guns in self defense which happens every single day in this
    country? You can't grok hunting or plinking?

    You think your claim will fly with the police?

    Yet another casualty of politically correct revisionism.

    I guess I'd better start saving for my kids' private college...

    Have you ever actually seen this or are you just assuming it happens
    because it makes you feel better.

    I have a black silhouette target. It's on a faded white background.
    The perp on the target is holding a gun aimed towards the front.
    The black on white is for contrast, not from any racist mindset.
    If you look closely, the perp's features are decidedly non-black.
    If you look even closer, the emblem in the upper right corner says
    "Michigan Law Enforcement Training Council". If you want to find
    one, the model number is TC-71. You gonna argue that it's the
    special target for minority police officers?
    
    But that's the only actual human silhouette I've ever shot at, aside
    from a Hussein caricature a few years back. I usually shoot at round
    circles on paper, not because I have any special hatred for circles or
    the color black, but because that's what comes out of the copier. I do
    vary the paper it gets printed on sometimes to yellow, grey, or blue.

    I guess scholers such as yourself can find racism anywhere, right?
