IE: That argument is a non-sequitur.
But, A Theist tells me he has his guns to use against criminals, and if I want to protect my family I should have one too. That does not sound like it is being kept for just target practice. Tibs implies you should practice with targets so you can shoot the criminal. So what is the gun for?
