This is what I did with my afternoon.

I'm not an avid shooter myself, but know how to handle firearms well.

But I just wanted to make one remark about your above quote, no harm intended..

You might not be aware that when the United States of America was founded, our forefathers wrote into our Constitution that citizens shall always have the right to bear arms, and this was NOT for hunting, shooting sport, etc. It was so we would always have the means to resist our government if/when they try to take away our rights and freedoms as citizens.

Most non US citizens might not understand, but this is the basis of why we are very fond of our guns. They form the core of our freedom and we are very proud, not ashamed, of that fact.
