This was on the ballot by initiative petition. I think plenty of Fudds voted for it. Tragic.
I agree that a number of the hunting types have their heads firmly implanted in their anal orifices. I used to work a table for the Georgia Gun Owners org at the Buckarama (a hunting show in GA) and found that most of the hunters weren’t interest in “assault rifles” Frequent response was “they’re not interested in my guns.” and “you don’t need those guns for hunting”
