Hunters settling into the woods for spring gobbler season are insulated from the cacophony of gun control noise bellowing from Congress, state capitols, and the media. After all, the soft “cluck” and “purr” of a slate call is nature’s music compared to the overheated rhetoric of the gun control debate.
It would be easy to give into the temptation that the issue of gun control doesn’t affect most hunters because those calling for gun control aren’t talking about “my guns.” If only that were true. Gun control threatens America’s hunting heritage and creeps into hunting blinds and tree stands across the country.
