Otherwise, I agreed with a great deal of what he said. I have written every one of my legislators, advising them that I believe there is an all out assault on the 2nd Amendment, and they need to grow a pair and stand firmly against the onslaught.
“When the author said “Hunters are historically traitors to the 2nd Amendment...”, I felt like sending him to his corner for a timeout”
Sometimes a wake up call is needed. He’s right. Try showing up at your hunting club, I mean a large club where they have a hunt scheduled, maybe 50 or so members together, and bring your AR. Hunters and fishermen both “eat their own” consistently, calling for regulations on others as long as the regulations don’t affect “them”
I’m not sure I disagree with him on that point. I’m a moderator on a popular hunting site and FAR more hunters than I would expect have that “You don’t need” attitude.
Some hunters, like other groups, don’t care about bans until/unless it about THIER preferred weapon and they are slow to aid causes or write their representatives on issue that don’t effect them directly.
It’s infuriating and extremely short sighted.

I know a few like that. Not all, certainly, but they are out there. Mostly Democrats who like their guns, but think Modern Sporting Rifles are too much for people to own.
