You are wrong again Ray. I do know my history and the foundations of 
American government. I also am aware of many current facts (whatever 
facts you may speak of). I read much political philosophy and I am aware 
of political and social realities. As to guns and their uses, I see no 
use for them at all. None! I cannot comment on my credulity, but as for 
my arrogance: so be it. Holding and shooting a gun is just like alcohol 
and drugs, something we could use a lot less of. Too many damn guns. Guns 
for children, guns to protect the home, guns to kill people. What is a 
gun for but to kill something. Bullshit on that target stuff, most people 
shoot at silhouttes of people. White people shoot at Blacks and Hispanics 
at the target ranges. They are just feeding their addiction of hate.
