Of course.

I've also driven a car, made toast in a toaster, cooked food in a microwave, stove and oven, made calls with a telephone, mowed my lawn with a lawnmower, used the internet, cleaned my carpets with a vacuum, washed my dishes in a dishwasher, etc.

I'm a modern human being.  :)
Over here firing a gun labels you as little better than a caveman :P

I have fired...a few.

All for recreation.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I approve.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

wrong. As a kid it was subsistence. Lots of folks eat venison all winter. And have for many generations. It's culture. Just like those Washington natives who shoot whale with uzis
Yes, exactly.  Most of the meat my dad ate growing up was fish they caught or deer they shot.

It saddens me that after your heroic victory in the war you people all went crazy and cowardly.  :(

... and he grew up in NYC. The people at the aquarium & zoo were very understanding.

Women shooting guns is HOT.
One of my favourite photos of me is from that day. Miniskirt, trenchcoat, high boots and shotgun at my shoulder ^_^

Excuse me. I need to rub one out. Be back later.

Ahhh. Felt good.
