[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 981649, member: 81139"] I suppose that if you look at this on a grander scale, what if the NRA took this stance... and if the general populace takes this stance. Rules, regulations, & laws are created based on what politicians believe the general populace are going to support. Every cog matters, and if this idea of intent and the vilification of long range hunting takes root, new regulated guidelines for hunting could and likely will follow in time. There was a day when I was a teen that everyone I know had a gun in their car. Being from a small rural community, it wasn't even seen as an issue. Heck, you could even take your gun to school... I did... to the wood shop in order to refinish the stock of one of my rifles. Guys at the local merc used to sit and have coffee in the morning with pistols strapped... And no one was concerned. Today.... same town, rarely do you see a gun even in the trucks around town. If you walk around town with a pistol on your belt in plain view, the cops are going to be there in no time flat, because somebody has made a call and is nervous. And if you have a gun in your car on School property, you've committed a federal offense, with some very severe penalties. I think all that's being said is that these kind of blanket statements about LRH do influence people, and should be guarded against by those who don't want to see this ability disappear. [/QUOTE]
