We see this attitude a lot at the local gun club. The trapshooters insist they are the "good" guys and condemn the black rifle set and people coming in there with their Glocks.

I've seen this too, unfortunately. It is very troubling. It amazes me when I hear a hunter who is blissfully sighting in his .300 Win Mag state with no hint of irony that he sees no reason why anyone needs an "assault weapon".

"he sees no reason why anyone needs an "assault weapon"."

They use the typical gun grabber terms - black guns, assault rifle, rapid fire and the ever present "I don't know why anyone needs a pistol."

They must live in a gated community. Geez!

I agree with him.

However I would not prohibit the purchase or possession of AR-15's or Ak-47's, but I would up the age to 25 years old. You see, I've been hunting since I was a very little kid, I served 6 years in the Army and have shot everything from M-14's, M-16's, to real BAR's. (they are all inferior to a quality hunting rifle). In that time I have noticed the maturity of gun owners can be predicted by their choice of firearm.

Sorry, but WE are responsible for alot, not all, but a lot, of our own problems.
