Really, you felt it necessary to add race conflict into this?     Black guys can 'pop a couple of caps' at people, so you get to shoot at people too?         

Take a deep breath Motley.     We're talking criminal vandalism here, but that's not generally a death penalty.     Besides I count on thinking that there are responsible gun owners, like Motley, then you go and suggest shooting would be OK for a punctured tire?    Under pressure, is that what we should expect from most gun owners? 

It's a great illustration of the risk of gun ownership, a single incident of anger, or depression, can cost a life if you have access to a lethel weapon.  I'm not saying that disqualifies people from ownership, just a statement of fact about the risk of owning a gun.    If it helps, I tell a similar story to people looking to own a pitbull - that you are making a choice that involves a very real risk.
