I may have mentioned that I used to shoot competitively, I learned how to shoot (.22 rifles) at summer camp and was pretty good at it, was on the team there, all girls. So when I went to high school, my mother spoke to the rifle team coach (also taught chemistry) at a PTA meeting and asked him if they had any girls on their team. He said they didn't, but there was no reason why they couldn't - so I joined the team. I was the "pressure shooter," they'd put me in near the end if we needed to make up points.
But that was a long time ago (1970s) and times sure have changed. Nobody ever used their guns to threaten anybody, they were locked up in the rifle range and only taken out for practice or we had a match. We had one very firm rule at my summer camp, never shoot at anything living. I looked a long time ago and my high school no longer has a rifle team - and I looked up a few of the schools that we used to compete against - I was curious about the military schools - and they no longer have rifle teams, either.
So if it's much too dangerous for schools to have teams that use guns to compete, what's up with the sudden gun obsession on the right? If you watch Bill Maher's New Rules, that's one thing he complained about, these RW gun nuts running for office have no policies, their campaign commercials are just them with guns, shooting at things they don't like...
