(23,296 posts)might be right on. I also don't disagree that there are some racist right wing hunters out there too and they don't impress me wither. My point is that there's a lot of those folks who are reasonable about wanting to own a shotgun or a rifle and don't want AR15's or military type weapons in the hands of civilians. There are quite a few of those same folks here on DU in fact. I AM doing the math and we need everybody on board if we're going to get any kind of gun control in this country. I don't think we should alienate those people in the process. We won't get all of them to be sure but we could get some of them. I'm headed to Australia in a week, my husband is judging their national taxidermy competition. Australians are avid hunters. They also ban assault weapons and understand why that is necessary. We can do that too.
