He gave his view of a group that is founded on nothing but conjecture and fear. Anytime you put down a whole group of people instead of individuals you are doing so out of ignorance
How very politically correct! Let's talk realism instead of idealism for a bit. "Birds of a feather flock together." That's a very old adage, and it's still as true today as it was in antiquity. You categorize people as a group based on what you observe of the actions of people within that group. Sure, it's always unfair to various individuals within the group but, on the whole, it is true.
A handful of baseball players get caught doing steriods, now all of major league baseball is embroiled in the steriod scandal. You look at Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer and you have to think of all Democrats as self serving idiots.
Honestly now... How many people of Middle Eastern descent do you kinda watch a little closer as you pass each other in the store than you did before 9/11? Are all Muslims terrorists? No, only a very few are but you've judged the group as a whole based on the actions of the minority.Yes, you know you do it. So don't be so judgemental of others who do too.
If it takes xbows to get more hunters into the woods, so be it.
I've heard the 'crossbow as saviour' bit before, and it's still as big a pile of meadow muffins as it's always been. The crossbow will just create switchover hunters. They'll switch over from the compound to the crossbow. It will NOT create new hunters. There are no ravening masses just waiting for the crossbow to be legalized so they can go hunting.
That's the funny thing about this whole crossbow debate. It's not driven by hunters at all. There isn't any great grassroots support for crossbows. It's driven by the crossbow manufacturers so they can get a piece of the pie away from Hoyt, Mathews, BowTech, Martin.... And all the manufacturers, of both crossbows and compounds, know what will happen if they are legalized.
Well, I guess it's a matter of
when they are legalized, not
if.
