I am probably on the opposite side of you in Gun Control, but, do I want to see the hunting rifles or even revolvers go. The thing I have been against is the fact when people want ak-47's to be sold like it was any other hunting rifle, I wonder "hello, these things have enough ammo for massacres, something a hunting rifles cannot." It would be nice if the issues could be separated, as they are apples and oranges, but along comes the NRA (and sadly, m,any duers) who say "if I wanna shoot squirrels with my ak47, I should!"
