Tactical - if it weren't for the "hunters", we would:
- have no effective game management programs to keep wild game animals or predators under control, and see to the continuation of their species and habitat. All of the money that funds wildlife programs in this country comes from sportsmen, not PETA, not Al Gore, or any of the Liberal wacko Democrats that complain about "the poor animals".
- The NRA as we know it would simply not exist; Want to know when the membership of the NRA exploded? When Clinton was in office and he passed AWB 1. That convinced the "hunters" that the gun banners were for real and they were not kidding.
- As far as the self defense crowd goes, the hunters outnumber us at least 4 to 1, and I am being conservative when I say that. It has only been in the last 10 years that the self-defense issues have become front page news with all of the school shootings, home invasions and the Heller case before the Supreme court.
So please don't bash the hunters. They actually provide a service to the environment, and care more about the environment than any environmentalist nut ever will.
