“This is the same old divide and conquer crap they’ve been trying for decades. Sad to say there are some hunters that buy into it.”
Until they come for their prized pump guns and over and unders. Then the crying will start.
I’m thinking the over-unders would be safe for a few more years. The pump shotguns and semi-auto deer rifles that take a “clip” would be banned though.
My Dad (RIP) was of the same thinking years ago (even to the point of “no need for a pistol - it isn’t used for hunting”). As was my wife. If my old man was still around I’m guessing he would have changed his mind like my wife did hers.
