Are anti-hunters anti-gun?

[MeekandMild]

By the way, is it just me or is THR having problems?

Its not you. There have been big storms across the midwest and in some areas 90% of the phone lines are down and the cities look like they've been nuked. If I'm not mistaken THR has servers in Tennessee and there are significant parts of that state which have been reduced to rubble recently. The phone company can't even get into some areas.

I'm not against hunting, but I'm not really interested in it either. If someone wants to hunt dear or whatever, fine with me. But I do believe in the right to keep and bear arms.

Thanks for all the replies and views! I assumed most people who are pro-gun are not anti-hunting. I have never gone hunting but am defintely not against it. The people on that forum that I had posted, seem to be very emotional. Of course some have some valid points such as trespassing, but some would rather see hunting banned all together. To each his/her own but trying to get a sport banned simply because you are against it, is just as bad as supporting gun control, IMHO.

Again, thanks for the replies and Happy Mommies Day

Emotional people are difficult to deal with. On a blog site that has a forum the issue of guns was brought up and one poster said she was raised around guns but that guns are now out of control and it turns out her view is based on a friend getting killed and some other violent incidents so now she is against guns period. I havent bothered to reply yet because the emotions are so strong. Thing is, years ago I had a friend who was killed while babysitting and one of the teenagers found the father's shotgun and you can imagine the rest. I still support the right to keep and bear arms though.

Happy mommies day to you as well Miss Demeanors

Another view

"Are anti-hunters anti-gun?"

No, of course not! Are most (if not almost all) anti-hunters anti-gun, yes most likely.

"Obviously these people are completely anti-hunting, but when asked if they are anti-gun, they don't directly answer."

Is someone, who is evasive about their political view on a related subject, being totally honest with you? No, not likely.

Can you assume that they don't want to lose your political support, and know they will if they are honest? Yes, I think so.

Remember, that some support the "...it depends what your definition of is, is." doctrine, as a form of honesty. Others believe it to be a form of lying. What do you think it is?

I'm currently a non-hunter who philosophically supports hunting, and hope to get opportunity to participate someday (all my friends who hunt are in eastern North Carolina). The only hunting I've ever done is bullfrog hunting with a .22.

<rant>
What REALLY burns me is the people who support hunting but NOT RKBA (i.e, believe that you should only be able to own hunting weapons). Where does that leave the average non-hunting gun enthusiast? (And do hunters really think that if they throw gun enthusiasts to the wolves, that the radical Democrats will continue to allow sport hunting? The sad state of England should be a wake-up call to those types.)

Well, my attitude toward hunting has changed a bit in the receent years. I love to eat meat and appreciate fine leather product so after considering lifestyle of farm animal especially poltry I now feel that hunting for food is not that bad after all. At least the animals had better lives before being midium rare. Hunt for the sake of killing is different anyway.
