A couple of good points, about being tasteful with trophies, and concealing weapons....however, underlying this is an unconcious admission that the battle, at least in part, is already lost.
Yes, we are a minority,but unlike other minority groups, particularly those defined by racial, ethinic, or even sexual alignment, WE are expected to be ASHAMED of our status. And us acting ashamed is a subtle agreement that guns and hunting are BAD! We don't need to be "in your face" about it, but there's no reason to hide.
Yes, it is prudent to avoid exciting idiots, because when they are aroused, there's no telling what harm they can do, but we are the ones in the legal and the moral right.
NO ONE who does not only eat things that have died of natural causes has ANY moral right to denigrate hunting, nor by extension the tools used for it.
Buzzards, perhaps have that right, but as far as I know, they don't seem to care about the issue.
Back on point, I've said it before, if you want to change the Hughes amendment, the way to do it is to simply put a line in one of the 2,000 page "must pass" bills, saying change line xxxx in law XYZ to read....." or "delete lines a, b, c, & f from...." or something like that. Make no public announcement. Do not try to get political support, just do it with stealth and slip it in under their radar. After all, its what they do to us, every chance they get, on a variety of issues.
