RE: question from a novice
What is too serious? Some people could think that you take writing too seriously. Some may think its useless entertainment. But your going to univerisity for it. Pretty serious. You are on a page where shooting and hunting is a lifestyle. For most of us, our lives revolve around it. From the off road truck we buy, to where we choose to live to the way we think. It is people like yourself, that we have to join a group like the NRA to make sure we keep our lifestyle because you think we take it too seriously. We shouldn' t have to keep defending ourselfs from attacks like the Million Mom March, Handguns Inc., etc. But if we didn' t defend ourselves and take it too seriously, we would be like a communist country like China, where we wouldn' t have that right. You think its not a serious issue, look at the attacks from frivialous lawsuits to all 50 states where antiguners are always testing the waters.
If you think I am alone, why not go post that question on the deer hunting forum and see how many people take it seriously. In fact, go to any of these forums, and see how much help you can get for your little story.
