For a number of years, my late husband and I met a small group of friends one Sunday morning a month at a gun range to target shoot before doing a late brunch and start slurping Mimosas. It was a lot of fun and it kept our skills sharp as we enjoyed good natured competition.

What the hell fun is a freaking automatic weapon? I just don’t get it. There is no purpose for these weapons outside of a war scenario and “I’m a collector. I like having them” does not hold up for me as a reasonable circumstance for allowing the civilian sale of these weapons so easily.
