- What amazes me is that he was shot with a shotgun. A hunter has to be an
- absolute irresponsible twitchtrigger to make that kind of mistake with a
- short range weapon.

- I think a very small fraction of hunters would make this kind of mistake, but
- that small fraction is a significant number. I really hate the idea that while
- gun season is open, they own the public lands to the extent that they can
- negligently assassinate people without apparently breaking any laws.
