Excuse me, maybe Im a traditionalist, he wrote, but I see no place for these weapons among our hunting fraternity.
Like who cares what kind of a gun they use bub? Afterall, the ground hog is dead either way.
You're not on board with the "mindset".
It goes something like this:
1. A bullet fired from a bolt-action rifle in .223 that kills a ground hog = OK
2. A bullet fired from a semi-auto military-style rifle in .223 that kills a ground hog = EVIL. The gun and shooter are EVIL, and furthermore, a menace to society. The gun should be confiscated and the owner thrown in prison for life.
Got it?
I think using an AK to hunt a prairie dog is pretty stupid, but I'm not going to try to ban the practice.
