Thousands did.
In a war, you shoot at the enemy until he dies or surrenders, not just until he turns his back on you. Hunters=enemies? shoot them? Matt John was using the opportunity to make a post election dig at his least favorite candidate. Although John has admitted he would have done the same thing in identical circumstances, he often said that Kerry shooting a fleeing enemy in the back (an enemy who momemnts earlier had fired on a US Navy Swift Boat), was absolute proof that Kerry should not have been elected POTUS. Hey, maybe he was right, as he wasn't. :-) However, in a war, (not when hunting), it is my impression that the rules of a formal duel do not apply. It isn't necessary to wait until a referee indicates that its time to open fire, and nobody gives a ding if you have your back turned. Attacking from behind, in some circumstances, is considered good strategy, not "unsportsmanlike conduct". If there might have been an excuse for the hunter defending himself by returning fire, (assuming the other group began actually began firing first), there isn't an excuse for chasing them down individually after they have fled the scene and shooting them after the threat had been dispersed. |

If the 8 were armed they would have executed him and not the other way
around. Matt If the eight were unarmed, how the heck were they "hunting"? Get a bunch of guys staggering around in a beer buzz vs. one sober guy scared for his life. Evens the odds a bit. Then add the factor of some of your buddies getting killed when the intended victim of a cruel "joke" takes the shot seriously and begins firing back. If you aren't prepared to see people going down on both sides of you and you panic as a result, the odds are evened a bit more. All those missing weapons are likely squirreled away in the bushes someplace. How many people go hunting without a gun? Never heard of anybody doing that, except the stereotypical cheating husband. :-) |

"Matt Lang" wrote in message om... The guy takes off and maybe someone fired a shot or even close to him (no doubt wrong but NOT cold blooded murder). Then the guy with the violence history snaps and takes them all down with his semi auto (why the **** is he hunting with an assault weapon???? Isnt that one against him?). shots in the back, dying people finished and all. Can you provide the definition of an assault weapon? I keep hearing the term "military style assault weapon" in the media and by gun control proponents but, I don't understand the difference between a Remington Model 1200 carried by a civilian and a member of the armed forces. One is a hunting weapon and the other is killing weapon. |

One is a hunting weapon and the other is killing weapon. good point. I dont think there isnt , but ask in rec.guns. There are however semi auto rifles which are very suitable to fire lots of controlled rounds in short time, suitable for combat and there are semi auto rifles which arent. This is no black and white criteria though... If one hunts with an i.e. AR15 I would say he is hunting with an assault rifle .. Matt |

What a biased comment. Now we have drunken hunters, that tried to execute a
scared guy. It was early in the morning, as some were traveling in the dark to the deer stand. They find a guy in the stand who does not belong there and accost him. Whether they fired or not, the scared guy shoots a couple. And from the news report. They radio, probably on FRS radios that one of the people has been shot. Several of the "hunters" are still at the cabin and jump in ATV's to help the shot person. They could have assumed it was a hunting accident. They did not bring their guns along, as they were on a recue mission for an injured person. They left the guns at the cabin. They would still be called hunters, as they were at their property to hunt deer, and you would call them hunters even if they were in camp. And nowhere is there any mention of drunkeness.
