distance of a dwelling and certainly within town/city limits.

True here as well, except that the law reads "discharge a firearm
towards a dwelling" which makes more sense.

... You 'mericans
need to get rid of that NRA and civilize your firearm laws.


Yeah, it'd be a LOT more civilized to just let careless people's dogs
and cats trash our yards.

"An armed society is a polite society." Frankly I think that if you
can't be trusted with guns, or are afraid of them, then you shouldn't
have one. IMHO it indicates a lower level of civilization, like say for
example if you had not discovered agriculture or the wheel.

Speaking of which, since cars kill & maim a heck of a lot more people
than guns, it would make more sense to outlaw cars.

Let's remember, too, that according to FBI stats, law-abiding people with
legally owned guns commit like....1 crime every 3 years. :-) Hunting
accidents are another story, but stupid people who do that were due for SOME
sort of horrible accident at some point, whether with a car, a table saw or
bathing with the toaster.
