Anybody else notice how HUNTING is getting popular with our Gun Enthusiasts? [View all]


For years, an overwhelming majority of DU Gun Enthusiasts expressed a lack of interest, or a total revulsion, for hunting; hunters were dismissed as "Fudds" (from the classic "Kill The Wabbit" Bugs Bunny cartoon). The only guns discussed were pistols and military-styled rifles and tactical shotguns, as opposed to sporting firearms. The point was made (ad nauseum) that the Second Amendment wasn't about hunting, it was about militias and self-defense and killing human beings. It appears that things are changing, post-Sandy Hook. Looking about for a means of putting their guns and themselves in a better light, our Gun Enthusiasts are linking up with the natural foods movement, proclaiming (ad nauseum) that food which you "harvest" yourself is healthier for you, and much, much, much more noble than just buying some ground round at a grocery store. There is nothing accidental about this trend---it is an open and obvious attempt by gun activists to make themselves look better to the public. Stay tuned, there's a lot of entertainment value to be had here.
