Show me the direct quotes.
Se my um I think 48, toward the bottom. He talks about how he’s been a hunter all his life.
And how he does not think you should own an AR-15 or AKS.
If he hunted “once” when he was a boy and then again “once” when he was an adult. He would have hunted all his life.
Now that’s Logic..,,
Dyslexia doesn’t cause bad grammar, and non-punctuation. Try again.
There is nothing about hunting in the 2nd Amendment. So where is the tie in? The 2nd Amendment does not state the right to keep and bear arms has anything to do with hunting.
Trying to tie in the hunting privilige with the RKBA right is the left’s way of tying the caliber of firearms with the size of the game. Restricting firearms eg- “assult rifles” that do not meet their narrow minded definition of hunting necessity is the intent. That would redefine the 2nd Amendment to have limits, which is no way restricted by the current document.
A good mushroom spot is worth fighting over!
Noisy mushroom hunters give away their location.
There is nothing worse than walking miles to your spot and finding that someone beat you to the bounty!
As for Mitt, I think he should be hunting the truth.
1. Romney got caught in an exaggeration. Stretching the truth. Another little fib.
2. The best evidence Romney could provide that he supported the constitutional right to bear arms was: "I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I've been a hunter pretty much all my life. I've never really shot anything terribly big. I used to hunt rabbits." So.... he doesn't understand what RKBA is.
3. Romney has an actual anti-gun record.
So you signed up 10 years ago just to post THIS???!?
I sat in a garage two times for a while.
I must be a car.
Hunting is not murdering animals. Hunting is little different than the slaughterhouse processing meat and poultry, except hunting allows the individual to select the bounty to be consumed.
Not everyone who hunts animals is a sportsman however. I do loathe the so called trophy hunter who kills for the antlers and leaves the meat to rot. There are very few of those people thank God. The true sportsman is not a murderer. I take offense to hunting being equated to
murder.
“Noisy mushroom hunters give away their location.”
HEY! MORELS!
“I’ve been a hunter all my life, not frequently, but as a boy, when I worked on a ranch in Idaho, we used to go out shooting rabbits, because they were eating all the barley, and I got pretty good with a single shot .22 rifle, and been quail hunting more recently*. [But now I claim not to be good with a single-shot. It took the power and deadliness of a semi-auto to get those rabbits!]”
Explains it in context “not frequently”. This is overblown by the guys who want to trip him up.
And you can say the same about NRA Life Member 
See post #112. His comments were misconstrued.
Any time a candidate talks about hunting and the NRA in the same conversation, it is pretty strong evidence that he is weak on the Second Amendment. Bad sign for Romney.
Kerry-esque. Like "crawling around on the ground with my trusty shotgun hunting deer".
redoux...
“Can I get me a huntin’ license here?”
“Oh, that’s right. I don’t really hunt except in election season.”
Gee, it's not like he's earned 3 or 4 Purple Hearts or something.
/sarc
Nope.
The 2nd Amendment isn't about hunting. Actually I'd be more impressed if you shot IPSC, which can really help you out if you own weapons for self defense.
We've got some budding Michael Moores here!
Michael Moore-ing 101:
1. Trip, crop, selectively quote the above text to give the opposite impression as that given by the full text.
2. Works with video too.
3. Examples:
"I’ve been a hunter all my life..."
"...been a hunter all my life..."
"I...a hunter..."
etc.
