Any Hunters Own Semi-Autos? Better Read This...

The Fudd term I am familiar with is refering to hunters who say " I have my bolt action deer rifle, my 12 ga pump gun, and a single shot .22mag, and why do you need more than 4 rounds anyway? If you can't get a deer with 4 or less rounds, you should just buy meat at the store". They often have an attitude if you try to tell them what the 2A is really about. Some are bad enough to cite the garbage the media spews out. They will sell the rest of us out through apathy.

And yes, I've actually had a few hunters say these things to me. I don't get into a debate as they are often my customers. I try to gently educate them, but sometimes you just can't do it without really engaging them, and I try to avoid that with customers.

The HBG show boycott does give me ALOT of hope though. The large # of hunters, anglers, etc angry at Reed Expo, esp the ones who live in PA, are really a fine sight since you can't even hunt with semi autos in PA ( the PGC caves to the minority fudds...). Now if we can just get the hunters en mass here in MD to speak up in regards to the slimey doings by the GA...

FUD is an acronym for Fear, Uncertainty, and Death. It's used by those who want to shock, scare, or manipulate people into seeing how horrible life would be if X did/did not happen. Very common in the IT security realm, but also in today's political climate.

Hunters need to understand that politicians can call their hunting rifles "Deadly Sniper Guns" just as easily as they call semi-automatic rifles "Assault Rifles" and they can ban hunting rifles too.
Remember, most hunting rifles shoot a much more powerful cartridge than the AR-15 does and they are able to kill at even greater distances!
They will bring that fact up as soon as they ban AR-15's.
