While I appreciate part of the sentiment of this commentary (we as a civilized society need to inact tougher gun ledgislation), I don't agree with the commentator that this idea should naturally apply to "all" instances of hunting.
He infers that hunters only hunt because they enjoy the thrill of the kill. This is a rather heavy-handed deduction to make given that hunting is still a viable source of food, income, management and tradition throughout many regions of America. By oversimplifing the facts and presenting a rather extreme moral reasoning I feel that this type of radio will only hold water with the most strident vegetarians.
