- I know that the old rifles can blow bigger holes in people and kill
- more people over a greater distance. But they wheren't designed specificly for
- the purpose of killing *people*. Grandpa used them to kill deer and bears.
- There where plenty of those in his time. He shared the meat with the whole
- neighborhood when we had more than the family could use. His guns don't bother
- me.
-
- This gun was designed to kill *people*, not deer or bears or even
- rabbits. Reasonable people don't go hunting with a handgun. They are for crimes
- or defense, in either one they are intended for use on human beings. That is
- what makes me uncomfortable with it.
