At least as recently as the 80s, if you catch your wife in bed with another man, you can't shoot him unless you shoot her too.. Or is that the other way around...
Reminds me of the old joke about being able to do it in one shot..

No, they don't have guns so going to the range isn't an option, and they aren't allowed to have fox hunts any more.
Their only choices are cricket and buggery.

I've never met anyone that has not commited a felony at some point in thier life.

Anyone that say they never has, either does not know they did, or is a lair.

You can use chore boys to make a suppressor so ATF decided if you have a bunch of them it constitutes an unregistered NFA firearm.  ::)  Google "chore boy is a firearm" and several sights come up about it.
