I always thought shooting a gun was more dangerous than driving a car. My bad.

Indeed.

Shooting a gun is one of the safest activities around, if you don’t point it at anything that you don’t want to harm.

Driving a car carries inherent risks that can not be eliminated, compared to shooting.

Then you obviously don't shoot.

Is it possible that you bring any more grief on yourself here with statements like this? Sheesh dude... your ignorance is really showing. Driving a car is multiple times more dangerous than shooting firearms and always has been. Look at the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports and check out the number of LEOs killed in vehicle accidents as opposed to firearms. The last time I looked at it, the spread was well over 10 to one. For that matter, check the percentage of moving traffic fatalities for any state per capita, as oppposed to gun deaths.

Good lawd-a-mercy!!! I can't believe we're even debating this crap here!

Go play with your knives, or paintball guns, or airsoft, or whatever does it for you. But cut the moronic comments please! There are lots of other forums out there where you can hate our big, scary guns and suggest ways of sending all of us crazies through state mandated training. Why don't you find one and go there? I mean...why take any more abuse from us? :-)

Firearm competitions have killed two people in the last 90 years.

Seriously? I've shot literally hundreds of thousands of rounds, and witnessed literally millions more.

Seen exactly one non-life threatening injury.
