of certain gun owners causes problems.

I work with a guy who was a sniper in the Marines for 10 years. Really good, well adjusted guy. He doesn't own a gun now, says he's had his fill of shooting. One day in conversation, I asked if he'd ever had to use his sniper skills. He dropped his head a bit and said, "Too many times". He doesn't talk much about it.

A man with a conscience. Dirty business.
