I occasionally watch edifying documentaries..

There are indigenous USA people who regard hunting and living off nature as a crucial part of their traditional identity.
Some live in remote regions where shops exist, but supplies are expensively priced due to shipping costs, etc..

In these exceptional circumstances guns for hunting can be agreed to be vital tools for subsistence..

Animal right activists may argue that protecting seals may be more important
than the continuation of human traditions..

But that's another issue, for another thread discussion...

Otherwise, in most areas of America where supermarkets cater to all diets,
hunting may be a tad antiquated and redundant..

I live in the SW England where my uncle used to hunt rabbits for sharing with our family.
[I broke a baby tooth on a lead pellet].
These days microwave burgers in buns are less hassle than skinning a bunny....
