L Brown:
And perhaps you should go back and read my last post on this inane platform particularly Item 7. As far as the gun grabbers are concerned anyhing that resembles an assault weapon should be banned. Assault Weapons are SELECT FIRE(FULL AUTO) weapons a point that apparentely is lost on your group. A look alike semi-auto AK47 is NOT an assault weapon and is really no different from a Remington Woodsman,which is a common semi-auto hunting rifle, in function.
If you buy into this divide and conqour approach we'll all lose. Again the gun grabers want to restrict our access to certain firearms,then make firearms registration mandatory with the ultimate goal of confiscation.

Jim, I'm not sure why you're responding to me. Having spent 30 years in the military (mostly Reserve) and having retired as a COL . . . yes, I think I know what an assault rifle is. That's why I put "assault weapon" in quotation marks. At one point, I was the "custodian" of about 30 AK's, ran AK ranges, etc. What "group" do you think I belong to, anyhow?
Jack, it's all well and good to teach kids firearms safety. I do that too, and I point out to them that hunters are but a small segment of the population--and that there are people out there who threaten our right to hunt. But as part of the hunter ed course, we don't stress the fact that there are also nuts out there who would like to take away our gun rights. Or at least that's not in the material we're provided as hunter ed instructors.
I'm still waiting to hear what the Ikes--as an organization--are doing on gun rights issues, politically, at either the state or national level.
