Shooting up a safety glass window so you can jump through it rather than bouncing off it (see it in films all the time so it must be true)

How about target practice? I don't mean shooting the gun but like actually hurling the gun at bottles and such to try and smash them.

Painting it bright purple/orange and pretending you've got a water pistol when you can't find your super-soaker on a hot and sunny day (just make sure it's not loaded hey?)

Freedom! Like rape and slavery, it's what the founding fathers wanted.

Many of the founding fathers were opposed to slavery but it was something that had been practiced throughout human history. They were wise enough to give us a constitution that allowed laws to be changed and eventually slavery was abolished in America. The slave trade started with Africans selling their own kind into slavery to the White man but doesn't stop the institution from being practiced all across the continent of Africa today.
"Thank God for Slavery"! No, I didn't say that. A Black journalist did who went back to his "African roots" and realized how blessed he was to be born in America. His name is Keith Richburg.
"I'm tired of lying,' he writes. 'And I'm tired of all the ignorance and hypocrisy and the double standards I hear and read about Africa, much of it from people who've never been there, let alone spent three years walking around amid the corpses.
"Talk to me about Africa and my black roots and my kinship with my African 'brothers' and I'll throw it back in your face, and then I'll rub your nose in the images of the rotting flesh.'
Afrocentrism 'has become fashionable for many blacks, Richburg notes. 'It cannot work for me. I have been here, I have lived there and seen Africa in all its horror.'
Name one country in human history that hasn't had problems. America isn't perfect, but neither are you Nimrod.

I think that may be a direct contradiction to the title so yeah, no.

Where did I claim that America, or any other country was perfect? Your defence of the founding fathers is touching, but misguided.

You mean like use the guns as crude chisels to scribe the lists into granite, sandstone and the like? I still don't think that works. You'd have to use the guns to scribe lists of people who deserve to be killed with things other than guns. Yeah, sounds right.

By firing at it or by gently nudging it? One would be much more conducive to winding down.
