families hunting and gun collecting is a tradition that has been handed down for generations. While we do not need guns to put dinner on our table, the sport of hunting has been a bonding experience for many families. This is a healthy American tradition that should not be broken. The hunting and shooting sports industry is wide spread. There are millions of jobs and dollars that are connected with the shooting sports. While we may just think of the gun manufacturer as being affected there are however many industries that would be affected adversely if guns were eliminated. If we consider that the average hunter buys clothing ammunition, vehicles, and other necessary supplies. If he travels he buys airline tickets and gasoline. If he goes out of state he may use the services of a guide, whose livelihood depends on shooting sports. As you can see if guns were eliminated from our society we would be at a serious loss. Our freedoms would be in jeopardy, our individual safety would be questionable and a significant industry in our country would be at a deficit. The quote that "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" is even more pertinent today. It is time that each individual takes responsibilities for his actions and not blame an inanament object for a wrongdoing. Thank You. ...
