Good thoughtful article Harry. I had my first BB gun aged 12. My first 22 at age 16 and a 303 in my 20's I also shot a variety of guns during my two years of military training. I have hunted though not really enjoying it. Taking an animal life is a huge weight I found and a human life even more i would think. I am now gunless and the world would be a better place if it was a gunless world.
