3. The most common use of privately owned firearms is for sporting purposes.

Not to say that a$$wipes like this do not exist, and that tragedies do not happen.

Target shooting, timed and accuracy competition shooting, plinking, hunting etc. are the most common use of firearms in this country.

People may carry for self defense, but the number of people who actually need to employ their firearm for self defense is minuscule. Probably outnumbered by shitheads like mR. mArio cHavez
