    I disagree. Bringing them to a good range (not Dragonman's ) will give you about 50/50 odds. It's been pretty successful for me, but the right environment and the right approach is key. Don't start them out with a 12ga slug or a 300Win mag. Start out with .22lr at shortish distances and get them to enjoy .22. Once you enjoy shooting .22, the door is open and the possibilities are endless. Having fun with it will change their minds when logic doesn't work. Once they like it, they will find whatever facts and stats they want to support what they like.

    "When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." -Frederic Bastiat

    "I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."
