Well. you may no longer wish to have a civil discourse with me, as I am a
staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment. I bought my first gun at age 12,
have been shooting since I was 7 and own a shotgun, a couple of pistols and
several rifles, with enough ammo for each to last beyond my death (I'm 71).

I don't know why I wouldn't wish to have a civil discourse with you, in
sight is a little hat I got by being a Charter Founder of the Second
Amendment Task Force. Besides, my brother is a retired Marine mustang, we
could talk about him if nothing else.

One of the main differences between me and the one to whom you responded is
that I am a responsible gun owner, I practice regularly and I respect and
obey the law. And I don't think I'm God!

I had a heron problem about 10 years ago. The buzzard got 2 of my koi and a
goldfish! I put up bird net and have had no problem since.

I had an alligator in my back pond last year. Turns out it ate all the
turtles and fish back there. A net wouldn't have helped at all, in fact, I
don't know what would. Fortunately it just died of natural causes, and I
didn't have to figure out how to deal with it.
