Non Sequitur: The Assault Rifle Sportsman

[aikoaiko]

208. Thank you for anti-gunster-splaining the toon.

1. The line between hunters who eat who shoot game to eat and hunters who put heads on walls is a very blurry line. Many of the hunters I know eat every animal they kill, but also put some heads on walls and consider themselves sportsman when looking for an interesting specimen. Who are you to say they can't be both.

2. The toon is based on a canard that the anti-gunsters use to discredit the ownership of semi-auto rifles like AR15s. First they conflate fully auto rifles with semiauto rifles and then say neither is useful for hunting.

You can backpedal by calling it satire and only limited to sportsmen who don't eat what they hunt and use fully automatic weapons to hunt, but I think it is just another example anti-gunster misinformation and ridicule.
