Psst, Anthony! Yes, you - the world is ROUND, not FLAT!

Sincerely, the Avon Lady.



Several BILLION rounds of ammunition are sold commercially each year.

How many more are reloaded is unknown.

Around 10,000 people are murdered by firearms each year.

So thats several million to 10 ration of rounds expended to people
murdered.

WOW - if someone designed firearms to kill, they sure did a BAD job of
it.


On the other hand, a LOT of paper targets and tin cans are shot at each
year, BY DESIGN so to speak ...
