I like target shooting and I have ZERO problem with a law abiding citizen ventilating an attempted robber, rapist or carjacker.

However people without training, a background check, the requisite cognitive capacity, and common sense shouldn't have guns. Period, regardless of what the Constitution, the NRA or anyone else says.

The two concepts are not mutually exclusive.
