[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not trust people who kill things for fun. There is something missing in their soul. I think people who are so afraid of the world that they make themselves less safe by having a gun in their home are dangerous plain and simple. It is not even remotely rational.  [/quote]

Everyone I know who hunts will eat what they kill. We're taking deer, turkey, pheasant, etc. People have about the local food movement and that's about as local as you can get.   How is that any different from raising chickens and being a poultry farmer?  What about those families who live in remote areas and need guns to protect themselves from coyotes? I'm pretty sure people out in Wyoming aren't going out on trail rides without a gun.

PPs comments show a gross misunderstanding about how people live.  Not everyone is living in a town. We will never fix the issue of gun control if the debate continues to be an us vs. them conversation.[/quote]

All the hunters I know (I am not one) eat what they kill, and often use other parts of the bodies for things as well.  Yes, people who go around shooting neighborhood cats and dogs for fun are psychopaths.  And yes, those people exist.  But your statements show how out of touch you are with so much of this country.  And by lumping every single person who owns a gun into one group, all you're doing is a disservice to the progress of gun control.  Of all the people I know who own guns, none of them would argue against stricter laws, registration, etc.  These are the people you ought to want on your side, but you're ostracizing them.  So well done.[/quote]
