Well until the NRA comes out for lion killing anyway. All hunting should be done with a spear.
For starters, let’s at least all agree that when we see someone with a gun who is not a police officer or a hunter, call the police. After all they could very well be Jihad, a Mexican rapist, a gangbanger or as crazy as they look.
