I don't know how you could be older than 12 and not wanted to shoot someone ever.

I can honestly say I've never wanted to shoot, stab, or otherwise graciously injure someone. I've gotten into some fistfights when emotions have gotten out of hand, but this is maybe why its important that everyone is not running around with a way to blast holes in people.

Hand me a loaded gun and put me in a room with Putin, and i'll not even blink when i shoot him.
