My grandfather was a big-time hunter. (Not the African safari kind, but the deer, turkey & quail kind). He was also a very sincere conservationist, and he and the family ate most of the game he killed.

He owned guns all his life, and was an enthusiastic hunter. He was overjoyed when I finally went hunting with him. (I was sleepy and my feet hurt. ) He was in no way a gun nut, and if he were alive today I feel sure he would be completely disgusted by the gun-humpers and 2nd Amendment obsessives.
