kensington314 asked an interesting question about how to have "26 guns melted down or otherwise destroyed in Southern California," and Iris Gambol has a great in-depth answer, while xedrik reports on his solution for a similar situation.

MetaFilter member HuronBob got an amazing Christmas present one morning, his own rifle. He not only learned how to shoot it, but also learned what it meant to have a dad.
It was an Ithaca, single shot, lever action .22! All I had to do was throw on some boots and head for the fields across the street. Look out, rabbits! Get out of my way, crows! I'm after big game, fox, deer, elephant!
"First you have to learn how to shoot it safely."
MetaFilter started as a community weblog in 1999, later added question and answers, then music by members, jobs, projects by members, a podcast, and finally an area dedicated to meetups.
