I of course approve of hunting uses, and for home protection. Just because we have a moral platform against gun violence doesn't mean everyone does, and if someone feels the need to own one to protect themselves and their family, that is their right.
Coincedentally, I have two friends who are huge into guns. Between the two of them, they probably have fifty guns, including a couple AK47s, at least a dozen AR15s, and many others. I shoot with them often, and fined it a relaxing and very centering outing. I personally don't own any, and have no plans on buying any.
