Do you really think no one else in the world is hunting?

Copy any weapon possession law from another first world country and it's already a great step in the right direction.

This is the perfect example of a strawman fallacy. I didn't say no one else in the world was hunting. I asked a question. Interesting how your first reaction is to immediately attack a position I didn't take. That's what I mean about the impulsive responses.

In any case, which laws from which countries are you referring to specifically?

So, to summarize, your answer to the question is people should be allowed to own guns to hunt with restrictions?

You asked a question that is very easily answered by looking at any other country. Which is why I referred to any other country.

Nothing about that is an attack lol

Take Germany's laws for example.

So, to summarize, your answer to the question is people should be allowed to own guns to hunt with restrictions?

Yes, in a model similar to Germany. Which means you can only purchase weapons made for hunting, you need to be a trained and licensed hunter, your weapons needed to be unloaded and locked away any time you aren't hunting, no every day carry, etc.
