Default RE: SKS? Popular hunting rifle?

Nomercy: "It's not the guns, it's the people shooting them. Taking away the guns isn't going to stop these so called hunters from being unethical."

I'm glad to see you refer to them as "so called hunters", but I think maybe Pennsylvania
has it right - they don't allow semi-autos for hunting.
I'm not advocating the ban or confiscation of semi-auto firearms - of any type. But I don't see them as appropriate for hunting. Yes, they can be used for hunting, but are
they appropriate. And there's just too many "hunters" out there that will shoot at
anything - movement, sound, or what they think may be a part of a deer. Putting a high-cap. semi in their hands is just plain dangerous. It's like giving an indy race car to someone who just got their drivers license - it's asking for an accident to happen.

And, I too have been in the woods when some "hunter" starts cranking off shots with an
SKS. It ain't no fun being in the same area. I'm just thankful to the Lord that this idiot
probably can't hit what he's aiming at (hey, it's why they shoot off 10+ rds.), and praying (as I'm kissing the ground) that I'm not anywhere in his line of fire.[:@]
I then leave the woods - before I forget what it is I'm supposed to be "hunting".
