I agree with you Bill. I have no Idea about how many yanks actually have weapons. I know automatic weapons are a different ball of wax. I don't believe all yanks have fired a gun but I might be wrong.
Someone started this thread useing the gun law in a state of the union as a reason for asking a question tho so I felt it only fair if I not only gave my answer but my own opinion on why they are doing it as well.
As far as people haveing a sence of how to use a weapon, any weapon, before haveing ever had one in their possession I believe that would depend on how they were raised.
As an example, I was raised with weapons. They were always around.
I never had any special training, never took a course, but I can handle them and did so from first contact. I don't go to ranges. I don't know anyone that does. We do all of our shooting in the bush.
