Everyone Who has a Toy, Longs to Use it

    Everybody who has a toy, longs to use it. And, if the "toy" is a gun? If the desire can be fulfilled target shooting or hunting, wonderful. But, there will always be someone who longing leads to their using it on another human. They might long to use it defending their home, and they shoot a trespasser dead. They might long to use it on a villain who comes to the school to kill children, and they shoot the shooter dead before he can kill a single child. (That would be good.)
   Or, they might use it in a way they never intended. They might have intended to use it to protect their home or to kill a killer, but then one day they get mad at their wife, and in anger, shoot her dead.
   Everyone who has a toy, longs to use it. And, if they long to use it, the day might come that they will. Some of those uses will be good, but not all of them. Some will be tragic uses.
