Hunting is a peaceful purpose and a backbone of a lot of Americans' culture. And given that we've killed off an inordinate and disproportionate number of the natural predators for large herbivores, it's also necessary for the healthy maintenance of our forests and to reduce damage to crops and vehicles near those forests. Some weapons are clearly not hunting weapons, however, and your underlying point stands for them. But let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater by overgeneralizing on this point. ~~ Robert Fischer.
