Apr 2014

I fired just about every small arm the Army fields. Plus the 120mm smooth-bore Rheinmetall tank gun on the M1A1 Abrams tank I crewed in the Army.

I got it all out of my system. I don't need to own a gun.

I don't have any silly Rambo fantasies about taking out a mess of suburban bad guys with a gun.

If I did own a gun, I wouldn't drink and shoot at the same time.

A little intelligence goes a long way...
