It is not about hunting. I used to hunt many years ago. So U have some sympathy. I hunted with both a bolt action with open sights and a semi-automatic with a scope. The bolt action was always fast enough for me. If you missed the first shot you did not get a second. I also usually went alone. That was because there were too many of us on my first hunting attempt. All of us green as heck. We probably only scared the crap out of a squirrel.
But as I said this is not about hunting. You should be trying to figure out a solution so that you can continue to hunt. People are getting tired of this idiocy. My sate is fairly gun friendly. It is a state that when it comes to a concealed weapon permit the state is on a "Shall issue" standard. That means that as long as one is not a convicted felon one can get a concealed carry permit. No explanation needed. But even in my state there is a bit to band certain rifles. I do not think that state laws are effective in this way. One only needs to go to the next state over to get around it. That is why laws need to be national.
If gun owners cannot control their own people it will be the government that does it. Do you want that? I am pretty sure that you do not. It is time to see if you guys can come up with a solution.
"If gun owners cannot control their own people"
Their own people? Gun owners aren't some Jim Jones group. Each gun owner is different. We control us and our guns.
Its not up to us to control, (to speak about a recent issue), a transgender going on a mass shooting spree.
Just like its not up to alcohol consumers or alcohol producers to control alcohol abusers.
You all think you will/can control when or where someone will go off the deep end and kill some people.
You can't and never will control that.
