As an anti-gun anti-american pacific redneck, I have also thought about shooting people, at least once per week. There's only 3 people alive I would actually ever shoot though, given the chance.

As a Canadian, I have never thought about shooting anyone, but I have thought about people being shot by someone else who is in no way affiliated with me! Lol
