THAT'S the problem most of us have. The word BANNED. Running to big government. If you said that you personally didn't hunt and didn't mention the word banned or a word with a similar meaning, you would not have been flamed one bit as that was simply a personal choice.
And as for that part about feelings. Who cares. That may cold and blunt, but I could give a rip about feelings, especially when hunters like myself have to spend millions of dollars in political campaigns to defend our way of life against rich elitist cityfolk from New York, Chicago, Hollywood, and San Francisco who dump in their billions of dollars out here in Michigan(where they don't live) to force their crap on us. People and orgs like the Tides Foundation, George Soros, and the like.
That doesn't count the daily barrage of crap from ignorant jackasses always portraying us as bubbas with a beer in one hand, and a gun in the other. I never mix the two, and the hunters I know don't. But that's what's on TV, in the movies and sitcoms.
