“Hunters are licensed and they are declining.”

That may be your definition, but not exactly mine in this case. People with guns that hunt aggressors to protect themselves only need the means to do it. If someone enters my property to do harm to me or mine he becomes the prey, not the hunter. I haven’t had a game license in many years, but I qualified expert marksman on the range for over 20 years. And the weapon I have in the house is a semi auto shotgun. Hardly a weapon for hunting elk. It’s for people. They don’t license people. Shotguns increase close range shooting skills. And it is said you aim a rifle or side arm, you point a shotgun.

Besides, a hunter is primarily a person or animal that pursues, tracks, and kills wild animals for food, sport, or pest control. When that person enters my home to do harm it falls under pest control.

Are you a hunter because you don’t know what you’re talking about.

The fact you’re probably not a hunter further demonstrates we don’t have 150 million hunters

We don’t even have 150 million people with guns.

If the article was that loose with its definitions, did “air force” include civilian airlines and paper airplanes?

We don’t have 150 million hunters by any definition. Not even close.
