Turned out his father is a champion trap and skeet shooter, and the kid competes. You never know when you'll run into another gun nut!

And yet, holding that thing in my hands, and pulling the trigger… I didn’t really feel powerful at all. I felt like I had an intention–to fire the gun–and a goal–to hit the can. And in between my intention and my goal was going to be a machine going through a very powerful set of steps that, though I instigated, weren’t exactly in my control. Does that make sense? I thought I would feel like “Yeah, I did that!” but instead I felt like “Holy shit! I could have never done that without this piece of equipment!”' I really think that this quote is what scares the gun grabbers the most, people realizing that the gun isn’t a mystical mind control device…but just a toll
