Good idea. My son did that with a handgun. He had had it a few months
and put maybe 500 rounds through it and the trigger mechanism screwed
up. Then replaced the bottom half of the gun and shipped it back to him.
Another 500 rounds and it screwed up again. He sent it back and they
sent him a new gun. He sold that and got almost what he had paid for it
new.

For target shooting, perhaps?

Nonsense. It is a legitimate recreational activity that a lot of people
enjoy in a safe environment.

I used to enjoy Trap & Skeet shooting and still would only there's no
range nearby. On Lung Guyland there were a choice of ranges, we even
had one where I worked, way out in the woods, we were on 5,000 acres.
I understand thet range is no longer operational, ever since 9/11 they
banned bringing firearms on site.

People who don't shoot have no appreciation for the enjoyment that
others get out of shooting. I trained as a weapons tech in the
reserves, so I find the mechanics and ballistics interesting. I
appreciate the role of concentration, reflexes, hand-eye coordination
and fine motor controls in shooting. I am lucky to have a well managed
shooting range nearby. I can go and shoot trap, handguns, small calibre
and big bore. It is only about 12 minutes from home. I meet people there
who come 100 miles or more for a day of shooting.

FWIW, the range and gun shop are a family business. It was started by a
retiree, and the store was run by his son in law. The son in law died
of a heart attack a few years ago and the owner died of cancer last
year. The widow runs the range and the daughter and grand daughter run
the store. It's probably the busiest gun store in the country.

There are lot of things that are not necessary that are nevertheless
good.

Fun to shoot guns, Graham. Handguns are not always about "bad
guys" using them for criminal activities or even for protection.
Fun to shoot. I would buy one but nowhere nearby to shoot it so
I don't bother. I do miss the occasional shooting of evil guns
though....sometimes. The now banned guns were even more fun to
shoot.

BB guns are still legal though:

What should it matter to you that he has a handgun to shoot at paper
targets? Lots of people do. Why do people have high end overpowered
sports cars in big cities? They cause more injuries and fatalities than
legally owned handguns.
