I lived in a household that wouldn't allow guns. My dad liked them, but my mom was a die hard liberal who wouldn't allow us to have them or learn how to hunt. I was raised a Democrat and swallowed the anti-gun pill for a long time (until I was in my early thirties). I went back to school and studied politics, history, and philosophy.
I have myriad reasons why I'm pro gun and pro hunting, but I'd like to hear yours.
Totally opposite here...Dad grew up during the Depression, dropped out of school in the 5th grade and hunted for food and profit...Went to WW-II, was wounded twice and made it back because he was a hunter and a good shot...We grew up in the country, raised hogs and butchered 20 pigs a year as well as smoked, cured, etc...Also had a big garden, so I was hunting by age 6 with Dad and on my own by 10...Can you imagine letting a 10 year old today go out the back door to squirrel hunt???
Hunting, fishing and sex are the 3 most natural things that I do...
