Really? Nice of you to live in that cushy little middle class bubble world of yours. But out here in the real world, there are still lots of people who shoot deer, fish and kill other animals because they have to. My brother in law wouldn't have been able to put meat on the table for his family if it wasn't for his prowess with a gun. Hell, here in Missouri there is a program where deer hunters donate the meat to the poor, a program that feeds thousands.

And with rising food prices, prices that are going to really shoot up after this summer, more people than ever simply can't afford grocery store meat prices, and figure that a bullet is cheaper than a steak.

Please, stop making these assumptions about all people.
