7 Reasons the Left Should Be Pro-Hunting

The last 30 days have been chock full of key events that have a tremendous impact on the future of hunting, fishing and recreational shooting in America – events that are leading many sportsmen and women to draw conclusions about (or further cement their conclusions about) Democratic decision makers.

• In the nation’s capitol, Congress debated sportsmen’s access to public land, whether EPA could regulate ammunition and fishing tackle, whether recreational shooting should be permissible on national monument land where compatible, and last whether the United States should allow the importation of legally hunted trophies.
• In California, the Senate debated whether to ban hunting black bears and bobcats using hounds. 
• In Ohio, lawmakers protested colleagues holding clay bird shooting events as political fundraisers in the wake of a school shooting that occurred in February 250 miles away from the proposed event.

Truth is Collateral Damage to Anti-hunters and Legislators Who Vote Their Way

When it comes to asserting the rights of animals, the end truly justifies the means for the animal rights lobby, and their minions in Congress and state legislatures across the country.  This phenomenon has been on stark display in the United States House of Representatives and in the California Senate over the last 30 days:

Some of My Best Friends are Hunters

On April 17^th, the U.S. House passed the most significant piece of pro-sportsmen legislation in 15 years, as HR 4089 was approved 274-189.  Although the vote included 39 Democrats, a group of their left-leaning colleagues led the charge to gut the bill through a series of amendments.  The most disgusting part of this maneuver was to see several of them profess their love and admiration for hunting and fishing prior to proposing amendments that would neuter the very hunting, fishing and shooting protections that HR 4089 provides.

What’s Behind California Senate Bill 1221? An Organization Working to Ban All Hunting

The main force behind the effort to ban the hunting of California’s black bears and bobcats with hounds is the world’s largest anti-hunting group – a group that won’t be satisfied unless all hunting is illegal.  Of course I know that claim sounds like a lot of hyperbole.  And it’s expected that the opposition to a bill like this would make this argument.  But it is also the truth.  And I can prove it.
