I am not sure if hunting for food deserves the “outmost” respect, it is a way of life for some people. Natives have done it for millennia; I still think it is the easy way out to put a scope on a high powered hunting riffle and kill an animal from hundreds of yards. But of course they don’t hunt on foot anymore either, they roam around on ATVs. Little wonder diabetes is rampant.

Being on top of the food chain doesn’t mean that we should keep blasting away at everything that moves just because we can. Nature can be ruthless sometimes but it is never ruthless for the thrill of it. Animals kill other animals for food not for entertainment.
On top if that, every species have defense mechanism with which they elude being killed by a predator. Then humans come along and start shooting everything just so that they can feel manlier. I see serious flaws in that.

Handguns were invented, designed and produced with one goal in mind, and serve no other purpose, than to kill people Kamil, cars are a necessity. If a drunk or an inattentive driver kills someone with a car then that car wasn’t used for its intended purpose. If you kill someone with a handgun or an assault rifle you just followed the manufacturer’s instructions. People who collect things that are used for one purpose only, to kill other living creatures be it human or animal, have serious issues and character flaws.

It is mute point to argue about guns in the US now, the genie is out of the bottle an it will take along time to put it back.
