Yes, well, gun owners are a special kind of stupid.

I don't know man. I hunt and like to have some way of protecting myself in increasingly hostile times here in America. I know I'm not the smartest rocket in the tool box but you're dismissing a lot of valid reasons for gun ownership and people.

All the libs and lefties I shoot with know about d-lead wipes and proper firearms hyegene and safety.
