There's nothing wrong with shooting guns. But if I remember my first lesson
correctly, a gun is to never be pointed unless there's purpose. Clay
pigeons are damn cheap, and make nice target practice to prepare for
shooting.... Food, which is a necessity, and is fortunately managed in this
country for all people to take part in the tradition of hunting, within
certain guidelines. In fact, deer make a great example of something that
_needs_ managed, because well, all the "varmit" wolves are gone and the deer
will just populate like lemmings and that can create all sorts of issues....
Etc etc etc.
But people who lacked the intelligence to find anything better to do with
their Saturday, and just kill animals because they want to yell "OH
GROSS!!!!"... And then had the audacity to FILM it...
Well that's just GROSS.
