If you took the hoplophobe’s arguments at face value, firearms are just an excuse for people to shoot each other, and guns themselves are nothing but demonic injury-inducers and crime-perpetrators. As such, one would think that hobbies like hunting would start to become prohibitively dangerous, given groups of armed men roving about by themselves in in the woods, carrying all manner of hardware that is apparently solely intent upon somehow, magically turning on its users and blowing their heads off. Oddly enough, it does turn out that hunting is the most dangerous sport in America… except for all the others.
Hell, even billiards has a higher emergency-room-treatment-required injury rate than hunting, and I can figure out only so many ways you can get seriously hurt playing pool…
Just goes to show that the anti-rights crowd is full of it, as usual. Given that bowling appears to be more dangerous than hunting as well, I wonder how well a “I would rather hunt with Cheney than bowl with Obama” bumper sticker would work out…
