Last fall I was invited by a fellow employee to go skeet shooting after work. Having owned a shotgun for years and never used it, I accepted. It ended up with 5 of us that work in the office that evening, 2 being the owners niece and daughter. We had fun, and subsequently several other coworkers have asked to be included in the next one. We're going to do that in the next few weeks.
I intend to expand that into handgun and rifle range if possible. I expect we will wind up with two groups, skeeters and target shooters.

1A vs 2A
Reading the editorials in the paper at lunch, with both pro- and anti-gun letters, I couldn't help but think of a corollary:
Suppose, instead of a crazed shooter, it had been an irresponsible newspaper editor that wrote a highly inflammatory article. The citizenry takes to the streets in response and dozens are killed in riots.
Is that writer held responsible? Probably, to some extent.
But do you think there would be talk of limiting 1st Amendment rights?
Would people step up to say that the framers of the Bill of Rights meant for that freedom of expression thing to be a group right, and that the government should control the printing presses (or webpages, or television, radio etc).
Probably not.
