So here's the thing. I'm a South African. My uncle beat a black man to death because he wasn't doing his job properly. It was apartheid South Africa. He got away with it.

Some 300 years ago, people owned slaves. Selling a human being was considered quite normal.

The fact that three generations of people have hunted in your family does not justify the action. Times and understanding change.

There are only two possible reasons you and others hunt. The first is sport, and the second is food. There has been no reason to hunt for food for at least a century. You're living in America. You can buy food at the grocer.

Now we come to hunting for sport. Please explain to me how taking the life of an animal for fun is anything other than blood lust. If you want to test your markmanship, go to a shooting range.

As I have lived in the most violent country in the war - outside of an active war zone, and we have the highest per capita rate percentage in the world, plus the highest rate of babies in the world, I have to tell you that I still have seen no reason to carry a gun. Most South Africans don't.

3.4% of South Afric ans own guns. 72% of Americans own guns - many of them assault rifles.

The element of danger is virtually non-existent in America. The idea that any sort of personal armoury will hold out against the American military is bizarre- completely unrealistic.

Americans own guns because they have been indoctrinated from birth that this is an acceptable part of life. It is not - not in any peaceful 21st century country.

I think it's time to change your thinking.
