Yep. There's nothing quite so frustrating as having to sit there while a total and utter idiot drags your cause, hobby or profession through the mud.

I remember when my friend was checking his weapon / ammo, I noticed he had hollow points. I was quite shocked as in my head they were more dangerous, he explained that because he lived in an apartment, if he had to shoot at an intruder with normal bullets they'd go straight through the walls, and that hollow points were much safer for fellow residents if the worst came to the worst. Really demonstrated to me that there's a metric fuck ton I don't know about guns. So I always try and moderate my emotional reaction to 'gun issues'. Some things imo are quite obvious (like, if there's a license to drive a vehicle, then surely it's just as crucial to have some common-sense legislation to ensure people who own guns do so responsibly). But then, I don't live in a country with something like a Constitution and it's not for me to tell other people how to live in their own country!
