Hell, apparently, has frozen over

With exquisite timing, the CBC publishes a firearms-friendly article...
One Toronto gun owner said recently that he found shooting at targets a calming activity, a way to focus. (I suppose like meditation.) My dentist father, who loved small instruments and intense study, would probably agree.

My father joined the Doctors and Dentists gun club. Their insignia, I kid you not, was a hypodermic needle crossed with a pistol.

The club seemed to attract a disproportionate number of psychiatrists. Perhaps they joined because they loved the symbolism of the weaponry.
Primum non nocere.
