<div>As an avid upland bird hunter, sportsman, gun owner, and former division director for the NRA, this story (and others like it) sicken and irritate me.</div>

<div>And, we wonder why non-gun-owning persons in society feel the need for greater protections through regulation...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Obviously, it isn't just criminals and those adjudicated mentally incompetent who make SERIOUS mistakes and have lapses in good or smart or law-abiding behaviors.</div>
