   I have all sorts of tools I could use to put a dying cow down. None of them is   
   a great option.   
      
   I am not making an argument. Somebody said "somewhere" you can only use guns   
   for a particularly licensed purpose and I said it sucks cocks. Heck I know   
   nobody in town with a captive bolt gun anyway.   
      
   Come to think of it, if you are chased by the mafia or a terrorist group you   
   qualify to get a self-defense gun but you don't get to practice with it because   
   self-defense guns are not welcome in civillian shooting ranges. Hell, a cop is   
   not supposed to participate in a civilian competition with a "cop gun" and is   
   supposed to get a different license. Usually, cops use their cop guns anyway   
   because none of his cop friends is gonna fill a claim against a¡nother cop.   
      
   And this sucks LOTS because, guess what, the morons who pick the Santa   
   Figurines in Xmast and fill it with bullet holes are always the cops and not   
   the target shooters. Also, the bastards who mod their guns illegally and have   
   it explode in their faces are usually the cops too.
