Hate to bring up cars again, but...
People die because of car accidents with much more regularity than gun accidents. People don't seem to complain about drivers, though. They complain about hunters, because...my guess is the complainers have cars. A gun is meant to kill, a car isn't. To what or who is being killed, the intentions of the killer don't matter. It simply comes down to an issue of "you shouldn't be allowed to do that, because I find it morally offensive."

I was in the Air Force and worked in Public Health. One day, we received a call from someone in base housing, complaining that their neighbor had a dressed deer hanging from a tree. This was not a public health issue, ands the guy with the deer was violating no other regulations. Just another case of someone wanting rules for other people based on their own PERSONAL standards.

I admire those who stick to their own standards and moral codes. I just feel that those who think others should be made to bend to those standards are controlling busybodies.

Accidents happen in all activities, and the best prevention is knowing what the dangers are and always respecting them. I'd personally trust a hunter with a gun a lot more than the impatient jerk on the road behind me.
