I actually had a Californian went into our den and she ‘went off’ on the ‘dead animals’ hanging on the walls.

I hunted when I was young. But as I became older, I found I really like animals and have great respect for them...In fact, I'd only shoot an animal today if I needed food to survive for my family and I.

I'd never to it for sport.

I have no problem with people who hunt to support their survival. But I see hanging animal heads on walls as if it were some kind of big accomplishment strikes me as rather barbaric. I think someone who needs to shoot an animal for survival or to help reduce the food bill, should be somewhat humble and respectful.

But you're free to do what ya want.

No comment on her thinking that “guns just went off and killed people?”

My husband is 77 years old and doesn't hunt anymore but he grew up in a hunting family and a hunting culture that grew out of the hunting for food population. That makes all the difference. Like the California resident who grew up in the culture of guns are bad and “guns go off and kill people”. She probably thinks that SUV’s are bad and kill people too.
