RE: Weapon or Rifle?
Violence is a millisecond in many days or weeks of " hunting" . It is related to harvest, not fighting. Hunters have respect for their game, and animals (including some hunters) do it to fulfill basic needs, not because of strategic combat and without animosity or hatred. Connect the " violence" of nature to your huntin' all you want, but when you' re labeled a gun nut an' you lose yer rights to hunt with a " weapon" you' ll wish you chose yer words a lil' more carefully.
