There are responsible shooters and irresponsible shooters, and I imagine the
former far outnumber the latter or they'd all havel lost their guns long ago.
However, a single irresponsible shooter can do enough damage to make up for
their low numbers.
We've all seen shot up road signs, I've even seen a toilet block riddled with
bullet holes and its downpipes all shot away. This whole issue is about trust,
and such sights don't inspire much of it.

This is a huge generalisation and can't possibly be true. A lot of shooters
never shoot anything other than inanimate targets. They also aren't all
loonies that shoot anything which moves. That's a funny joke in South Park but
not true in reality.
