For instance yesterday we went out shooting. My brother-in-law had a .44 Magnum was an eight inch barrel (never seen such a huge handgun). Of course I had to cycle a cylinder through it. We were responsible; however, some would have frown upon it because that 44 is designed to put a hole through a man. 

Oh I agree, I just like to argue mindsets rather than policy.  A guy I worked with was telling me he had a .44 magnum specifically for home defense and when I told him that didn't seem like a good idea he just assumed I had an issue with him owning a gun at all.  I tried to explain that discharging a gun capable of firing through entire houses could do more harm than good in such a situation, but he was too busy getting a Rambo-boner over splattering a fictitious invader's guts all over the ceiling and walls to listen.
