I was at the local range on Saturday and i saw a fellow by himself with a rental gun. Something about him tripping the breakers in my mind. He was long-haired, thin, bespectacled, seemed academic. I know the stories from many previous range days talking to the RSOs. Many a suicidal person rents a pistol and shoots themselves at a range. This particular person might be looking at loss of a nurtured scientific career at the hands of these know-nothing asshats.
I was more than a little worried for him.
