Yup, that's why I never mow the lawn.

alright guys, lets not turn this into the goods and evils of hunting. most hunters are very responsible and ecologically minded folks. hunting license and game tags are metered out by state and federal wild life agencies to controll populations. sure, some of the agencies *** up, and some of the hunters are pricks, but by and large its a responsible community.

and yes, i fully realize that the only reason animal populations need to be kept down, is because we encroach on their space. its a ***** being at the top of the food chain. if you burn down your house, i'll follow suit and do the same. go ahead, tell your wife I said it was okay, and mention that its for the deer and field mice.

if you really want to save animals, get a hunting license and purchase game tags, and then dont shoot anything. buying the tags will help fund your state wild life and open space agencies, and it will also stop someone else from buying the tags, whom might want to actually shoot something.

Okay. This looks like the place to put my comment, which is this:

If a person living in a rural setting (farm, forest, isolated village, etc) hears a shot fired, the assumption generally is that a deer, rabbit, or something of the kind is the target. On the other hand, a person living in an urban setting (such as Detroit) is more likely to assume that the target is another person. Flaws aside, I think that may be the reason for the results.

Indeed that IS the reason for the result - and there are very good reasons for those people to assume such things. If they assumed anything else, they would probably be off their nut!

guns are used for entirely different applications in rural and urban areas, and anyone living in those areas knows exactly what those are.
