Harry Said it is Okay to Shoot, as Long as the Right Person is Shot

   "There is nothing wrong with shooting, as long as the right people get shot." -- Harry Callahan
   One of the dangers of gun ownership, is that we start thinking some people deserve to die. As gun users, we have to decide who we will kill. Who will we ticket as being worthy of death?
   The problem comes when someone decides someone is worthy of death who actually isn't. Most every murder, for example, is of a person someone decides is not worthy of life.
   We make ourselves gods when we make ourselves gun owners. We get to choose who lives and dies. If we were all of Godly judgement, that would be fine. But, just putting guns in everyone's hands is going to leave them in a lot of hands that should never be making such judgments.
