What do you need a rifle for? If you don’t have the courage and steadfastness to use it when your forefathers would have used it then why bother with it? If you do have it, do you train with it to keep markmanship skills sharp and are you well supplied to use it. Do you keep yourself fit? In other words, do you have long sharp fangs or toothless gums.
Do our individual actions, not our words, tell everyone else that it really is all about hunting?
(2) No. I don't hunt.
