This hunter says "high-capacity magazines" and semi-automatic rifles are unnecessary for his sport.
Via Summit Daily:
As a sportsman, I have to say that it's long past time for us to stand up in support of stricter gun control laws. It's not just about mass slaughter. Here in the West, we suffer from high rates of death by firearm because we live in a so-called "suicide belt," with death by firearm the primary cause. In the United States, more people kill themselves with guns than by all other intentional methods combined. Even when you control for factors like mental illness, higher rates of gun ownership mean higher rates of suicide.
Let's be frank: Hunters know that high-capacity magazines and semi-automatic rifles are unnecessary for our sport. These guns are weapons of war, designed to kill human beings. You could say the same about handguns. My dad often talks about bringing a sidearm for protection while hunting in serious grizzly bear country, but I tell him not to bother. Studies have shown that bear spray is more effective anyway, and there's a good deal less collateral damage likely to be caused.
