I collect guns as a hobby, and enjoy target shooting, as it builds strength, focus and could be really handy skill one day should I have to defend myself against someone else. I do not hunt, just cause I do not have the time, nor view it as something I would enjoy. Nothing against hunting, as long as you eat what you kill.
As far as people not liking guns, well it is a free country and do what you will. You will not hear anything negative from me. However, don't think for a moment that some crap socialist views on gun control will do a blind bit of good to lowering crime or making the streets safer. All it will do is can another right that we all have. So if you don't care for guns, keep it to yourself, the last thing us pro gun people need is another poorly informed sheep trying to balance on their soap box of stupidity.
You may also find that most pro gun people are also anti welfare and pro getting off their ass and working for a living to support their families. This group understands how great the US is and realizes it was made that way by people standing up for what they believe in. Not rolling over to some sort of socialist regime that preaches god knows what to the sheeple...(sheep + people = sheeple)
