Don't let them off the Hook.

Hunting? Hunters frequently shoot things other than what they are supposed to be aiming at.

They do, and if/when they do they can be held accountable. Yeah?
(this one is near and dear to my heart...lol, fucking game wardens - you think cops are scary?...try those motherfuckers sometime)

I imagine now we'll get the 'self-defense' claim?

LOL< I stand with my "buy a nice door with a sturdy lock/ and or just accept that you might get your ass beaten some day because you aren't willing to turn into a fucking barbarian on the off-chance that someone hit you in the jaw" theory of self defense. The firearms in self defense bit is fantasy, imo, that people like to foist upon themselves and others. I don;t see that many of us will ever find ourselves in a situation where a guin would be an appropriate response to a threat (but I guess I have a different idea of whats appropriate). Hell, I don't even think that a gun is a very good response to the threat of a gun. Shit...if there was anything you could do to make the situation at least twice as dangerous...immediately....that has to be it.

And guns have legitimate uses other than killing or injuring people.

And? Still does not change the makers and the NRA using scare tactics to sell to both the public and police and pit them against each other to keep their flooded market.

This is not about rights, this is about a big business scaring the shit out of everyone to make money.

Apparently they haven't scared the shit out of you.
