Just as you like like the heft and precision of your Leica, we enjoy the heft and precision of our firearm. In fact, many of us are able to pry ourselves away from our guns and enjoy other fine machines like Leicas, watches, fountain pens, bicycles, motorcycles and sports cars. We are not deranged --we like shooting at targets (or the occasional animal for meat, of course) not people.
