I’m not saying Carper doesn’t still shoot and still enjoy chowing down on “possum, rabbit, squirrel and wild boar.” I’m simply observing that when non-gun people want to shoot something, they are typically going to shoot skeet. How do I know this? I’m a non gun person and when shooting come up as a topic, I think to myself, “I’d like to try skeet shooting, I guess.”
WASHINGTON — Sen. Tom Carper owns a 16-gauge shotgun. Rep. John Carney owns a Remington 11-87 shotgun.
The Delaware lawmakers, both Democrats, are gun owners who support banning military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. The pair also favor background checks for all gun purchases.
