Oh Sadler, I don't wish death on anyone, but I do happen to think the NRA as an organisation are evil. Thank god there's not an organisation to place sharp points at eye-height.
I think most people are inherently good (apart from the scumbag in question), and once you get past the fact that you disagree on fundemental principles, be it religion, firearms, or favorite console, it's pretty much irrelevant. The problem comes from when so many people sign up for something for WHATEVER reason, it gives the people in charge power to do what the f*ck they like.
Like scientologists for instance: Everyone's like "lol, you believe in prehistoric spacemen" or whatnot, but when you hear the horror stories, it becomes clear that however harmless most of them are, they give power to some shady f*cking corporation. Same with oil companies, pharmecuticals, Catholocism, Microsoft and the NRA. However innocent the individuals, the whole has some scary-ass power to lobby government, profit from misery, and generally trample on the small guy in the name of profit and heavenly glory.
so yeah, I think guns are cool, and I think target practice is awesome, and if you offered to take me to a shooting range, I'd bite your hand off. But however cool they are, I'd never want to own one (unless something really goes to shit). With great power comes great responsibility, and the power to take a life just by squeezing an index finger is something I don't want me or anyone near me to have. I don't even think the police force (UK) in general are responsible enough to carry tasers. Scares the shit out of me when I see them with automatic weapons.
tl;dr, you're cool Sadler
