Re: Guy kills five hunters over a hunting dispute.
I'm disgusted to hear of this, it is a real sad day for law abiding hunters and a far worse day for the families off all the unfortunate people who fell vicim to this lunatic.
Still I'm curious how one person was able to shoot this many people, were they unarmed, how close were they, did he actually hunt them down or was he firing from the tree?
I cannot honestly say I know what the rifle in ? looks like but the description makes me wonder why is a gun like that legal, an "assault rifle?" Do we as hunters really need a semi automatic rifle to hunt deer or any big game animals, I think not. We have crazy and somewhat rediculous gun laws here in Canada and I'm certain a gun like the one described in an illegal weapon. I realize that does not mean that they do not exist but means that the gov't sees them as "something used for unnecessary evils". Are there laws against "assault rifles" in the U.S?
Like I stated earlier, I'm not real sure of the weapon in ?, I'd really like it if someone could enlighten me on the subject.
I feel terrible for the families and wish them well in the hard times that are sure to follow this. At the same time I'm thankful that I live in the safest country in the world!
