In reply to the discussion: Why is hunting so sacred? [View all]handmade34
(22,756 posts)because of your lack of critical thinking and refusal to think this through... I'm pretty much a vegan and I desperately want some limitations on guns... I do not hunt, but I am aware of people that do and the part they play in our society
hunting is an important cultural thing... many people "give a shit" about hunting and no, you are incorrect that there are grocery stores on every corner (see food deserts: http://www.foodispower.org/food-deserts/ )
...and yes, there are people in places that rely on hunting for their nutrition
...hunters cooperate in conservation of wildlife (http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-10370_12141-294259--,00.html)
So, ok you have conceded that, we as a society, we can allow reasonable "guns"
we are stuck with that... we do not need to alienate the millions of legitimate hunters and supporters of them by being unreasonable about the subject and calling them idiots
