Got home from work yesterday, did my yard work, and sat down after dinner to read the paper like most days. I usually enjoy reading the OpEd page, to keep up, and often to laugh at the dumb ideas of teh public. This one, however, hurt my head (Columbus Dispatch, April 27, 2009)
Hunters don't need to use assault rifle
Monday, April 27, 2009 3:06 AM
I am a gun owner and have done some hunting in the past. I am really upset that a gun owner and hunter would be upset because of the ban on assault rifles. I do not understand the reasoning for this view.
An assault rifle can be used for only two purposes: killing people and hunting. If you need an assault rifle to kill game, you should not be hunting.
I think everybody should be able to keep handguns and rifles for home protection and for hunting. This is our constitutional right.
