So, you asked me to support my position, and now I will do so. I'm not going to cite a bunch of statistics, because I minored in the same, and I'm very aware of the way numbers can be manipulated.
Translation: You dont have statstical eveidence that would stand up to scrutiny.
In order to drive home my point about the need for change among hunters, gun laws, and gun ownership, I will post a newspaper article daily, which describes a hunting related death or injury that could have been avoided fairly easily.
Translation: You cant supprot your postion with facts so you will abuse the media's ability to get the word out when something bad happens to make that isolated incident look like the rule rather than the exception. You intend to ignore the fact that every activity know to man will have abberations and you will use the tactics of the anti's by citing examples that, while statistically insignificant, are extremely effective emotionally.
The public is hypersensitive to kids and hunters.
I bet you have no proof of that statement. I highly doubt that it's truebut I guess if enoughuninformed people buy into your gobbledegook it could become true.
Ours is a very safe sport! Safer than bowling. Safer than driving or riding in a car. Safer than Soccer, baseball, football, tennis etc etc etc. SafeEVEN with kids involved. Safe EVEN with those evil semi-autos involved.
Again, if you dont feel safe when you go hunting, DONT GO but stop trying to tear down something you claim to love.
I really believe a troll has taken Quicksilvers identity. This cant be the same person wh's been here for over a thousand posts.
