112. As a non-hunting gun owner...

I personally don’t give a damn about hunting. I have never hunted, and don’t want to. I’m not opposed to it philosophically, BUT the attitude of some hunters, as expressed by you, if the thing I really don’t like.

Your statement reads as you’re one of those who think the “real” purpose of gun ownership is hunting. In other words, you are a “Fudd”, as in “Elmer Fudd”.

Fudds are perfectly willing to give up handguns and semi-autos, as long as they can keep their precious hunting guns, and keep hunting.

I on the other hand, think the prime purpose of the RKBA is self and home defense.

Let me clue you in on something. If the Gun Prohibitionists got their way and banned EVERYTHING but hunting guns, then the PETA Zealots would soon try to get hunting banned, and as soon as hunting was banned, then there would be no “need” for anyone to own a gun, and that would be the end of the RKBA.

If your attitude is no one “needs” to own a handgun or semi-auto, then IMO, no one except the Native People in Alaska, who are subsistence hunters, or the very poor in rural areas, “needs” to hunt.

Fortunately we don’t have a Department of Needs in this country, and I hope we never will. If you don’t stand up for my right to own handguns and semi-autos, don’t expect me to stand up for your right to hunt.

If I’m wrong about your mindset, I apologize, but the attitudes of “Fudds” really piss me off.
