Yeah I was wondering if it was a typo, or if they were shooting a big targets.

You're concern is justified... I don't like seeing photos like that, because the general public immeasurably assumes there is unsafe gun handling, and uses it against us.

Plenty of anti gun articles used shots like that to evoke a negative sentiment. Here is one I just saw today.

absolutely unacceptable.

i've bitched people out for pointing unloaded airsoft or paintball guns at people outside of matches. never aim at something you are not willing to destroy. (unless it's a brightly colored nerf gun. that's my ONLY exception outside.)


the general stupidity of the population at large leaves me with little hope for humanity as a whole.

More women are buying guns and enrolling in firearm training classes -- good for gun sellers but a cause for concern among gun-control advocates.

These bastards just can't resist throwing cold water on what should be a fun, interesting and informative article by mentioning how some people are concerned with this growing menace of women and guns.

I see their concern as a good thing, they feel they are losing their base support group.
