look, no one has a problem with hunters using guns for sport. some people want to get rid of guns because they end up being used by criminals. i don' t rwally know much about the NRA, but if gun users want to protect their rights, they should -- and maybe they are, i really don' t know -- but they should help keep guns from falling into the hands of criminals. that' s how they get a bad rap.

as for entertainment, Hollywood would probaby shrivel up and die if it couldn' t bust out the big artillery. guns get plenty of favorable attention in the movies, from the good guys as well as the bad. so, i don' t hear you on that one.

and as for my " little story," it doesn' t present guns in a negative light, or even necessarily the hunter. not that it would matter to you, but it' s about the clash between spoiled, consumer-crazy kids from suburbia and a guy (our hunter) who believes he is protecting the true fabric of America.

so i guess you' re right, i do take it seriously.
