I guess if you lived when they had more of a 'well regulated militia' and less 'bump stock semi-automatic dum-dum bullet hand cannon' stuff, the whole thing made some kind of sense.

Then again, when you have pre-teens in the 'educational idyll' of Finland going on shooting sprees, I guess nowhere's safe any more.

I think I'd rather be on the Sentinel Islands shooting a bow and arrow at passing light aircraft.
