Hunters For Gun Control?

This group may deserve some observation. Unsure of what to think of them.

united we stand, divided we fall.

Supporting another group is ok, but I say only in addition to the NRA, not instead of it. (not that I agree with everything the nra does, but please refer to sentence #1.

From what I could tell, they are for limited gun ownership. If I am wrong, let me know, but that is how I read it. I don't think I will be sending them any donations.

...Moreover, an overwhelming majority of hunters support proposals like background checks to purchase guns, keeping military style assault weapons off our streets and the elimination of cop killer bullets.

In recent years, extreme political positions purporting to support gun rights have jeopardized our sport and have hurt the image of responsible gun owners...
Nah, I'll pass. They sound like the Brady Campaign but with more hunting pictures.

Anytime anyone, anywhere, mentions "cop killer bullets" without quotation marks - it's time to move along...

ETA - Leave it to the Washington Post to call this a pro gun group! Donkeys...

Yep! And not only that, this group specifically targeted a real PRO-GUN official in the form of Mr. Talent. Shameful!

Is this an off shoot of the 'gun guys' who are really ANTI-GUN?

Any group that the Brady Campaign to Promote Gun Violence finds as positive can not be good for gun owners.

I read that in the paper this morning first with interest, than with horror. I don't think much of this group.
