I’ve received an interesting email today from a friend of mine, once the new firearms ban was better understood.
“Well, isn’t this an interesting development?? I do address my comments to the shotgunners and hunters out there who figured the gun ban had nothing to do with them. This ban is all about ARs and they have no use for them. So, I don’t use a shotgun – I don’t hunt ducks and I don’t shoot skeet or trap, I hunt turkeys with a bow. What would you think if I said, “I could give a shit as to what happened to you and your shotgun.”
As of 1 May, all you turkey hunters using a 12 gauge, are now criminals. I just got to ask you, how does it feel? Are you sitting out in your turkey blind with your favourite turkey gun, with a stunned look on our face, shrugging your shoulders and saying, “What the hell just happened?” Are you thinking, I’m no criminal. I’ve never committed a crime, (in fact, you are likely more honest than the politicians who made you a criminal). This shotgun has been in your family for years and has never caused anyone any harm, you probably have enjoyed using it to get a turkey every year.
Well, if you take it out of your house to go turkey hunting, you are breaking the law. If you want to go out this weekend and shoot some trap or skeet, you are breaking the law – ain’t that a bitch – so, how does that make you feel? Join the club, because we AR shooters have already felt it and saw you shotgunners turn your back on us “who needs an AR, anyway?”
Well, here is something else I want you to feel. I still could give a shit about your shotgun but I will fight with you to the bitter end for your right to shoot your favourite gun in any recreational activity that you like.
We stand together or we hang alone (to quote somebody from the American Revolution). Now, how does that make you feel?”
Well put.
