Very well said Duceman!
The anti-gun crowd wants all guns banned except for police and military. They are the same crowd that would ban hunting in all forms. Rights are lost bit by bit, not in sweeping fashion.
I know that some on this forum want to keep hunting rights and are less worried about broader gun rights, but we need to stick together.
Also worth noting that the Founding Fathers in America weren't protecting the rights of hunting in the 2nd Ammendment. They were protecting the right for individuals to bear arms as a defense against oppressive government rule. They understood that the rights of free men and women are much more fragile than some have come to believe in our time. The fact that we can use guns to hunt is just an added benefit that we all on this forum appreciate very much in Alberta and elsewhere.
Let's hope this goes nowhere.
