Numbskulled nimrods
First, attorneys are like ER doctors, policemen and firefighters - as a rule, we see two kinds of people:
1. Idiots; and
2. The victims of idiots.
This does tend to give us a somewhat jaundiced view of The Human Condition......
That said, the stupidest people who call my office regarding firearms and firearms licensing matters are hunters. Period. A close second are shotgunners, and there is a lot of overlap in my state, which forbids hunting with centerfire rifles. As a class, both are wilfully obtuse.
There was a wholesale revision of the firearms licensing laws here a few years back. One license that used to cost a couple of bucks and was issued for life was declared a nullity, replaced by one which cost $50 every four years. Handgun licenses became even MORE restrictive, had the period cut 20% and the price doubled.
This law received heavy media coverage, both in the general papers and the hunter/shooter publications. The state lobby group carried articles about the effects of the new law for months before, and after, its enactment in its monthly paper and on its website. Still does. One would have to be blind and deaf, or confined to a cave without access to any media, NOT to have heard about this law and its extreme sanctions.
Who did I get belated calls from? Hunters and shotgunners, in that order. For YEARS after the law's enactment.
How did these cretins learn about the "new" law? They'd go to buy a gun or get a hunting license, only to find out that their "lifetime" long-arm card had expired 2, 3, or even 4 years ago.
This was, of course "news" to them because they are comatose as to the world around them. They are oblivious to the political climate because they are self-delusional and believe that they are somehow protected because they only have "sporting" guns.
Ask them about the anti-hunting agenda espoused by PETA or HSUS and they stare at you blankly. Ask them if they remember reading ANY of the numerous papers that covered the new law's enactment and they remain vacuous. Ask them if they saw or heard ANY of the tv or radio coverage of the law, or the Congressional campaign run by the woman who authored it, and their eyes begin to counter-rotate.
Yet they are all upset because "no-one told ME!" Obviously, rectal-cranial inversion precluded any apprehension of events in the real world, and their annual, 1-week entry into it for the sole purpose of hunting was too little, too late....... Not that they made any effort, even then, to get a clue. They, of course, get quite upset with me when I point these facts out to them and make it quite clear I have little sympathy for their self-created crisis.
Hunters are unhappy with the NRA? So what - the majority of the hunters I encounter are TSTL - Too Stupid To Live, still less vote. They buy the Big Lie that "sporting" guns aren't part of the ultimate objective of NO guns in private hands; they readily whore out the other shooting sports ('No-one needs a handgun/'assault weapon'/National Match rifle/.50 rifle") in any "compromise" that pretends to protect their guns, and they do not support any of the political groups protecting the Second Amendment.
Hunters, as a class, are leeches on the Body Politic. In short - they suck!
