    Ugh, I'm from PA and there is a large gun culture here, but to use that cliche term, there are an awful lot of "fudds" that don't fully support 2A rights and don't care what happens as long as they can keep their Bambi shooter. They're frankly almost as bad as the straight up antis.

    I've experienced this first hand at a really nice club I belonged to. The officers decided that "their" club was for "sportsmen" only and banned more than 6 rounds in any semi auto and banned "rapid" fire.

    I told them that I couldn't even practice the courses of fire for another local club's military shoot with an M1 Garand or carbine due to their asinine rules. I asked them why that didn't make me a "sportsmen" and was met with blank stares... I dropped my membership right then.

    A lot of these people are truly brainless and/or don't understand the "slippery slope". Once they outlaw black rifles, etc and then start gunning for stuff like the semi-auto shotguns the waterfowl hunters use, then they'll be up-in-arms but it will also be too late.

    Depends on your definition of elephant.

    You see, this is something I never understood. How is one gun more more cuddly than the other? I mean sure a high gloss stock with royal bluing is pretty, but my BCM with ACOG, DD rail, and Scout light is just as pretty in it's own way, and I promise you it gets handled and loved on a hell of a lot more than some 20K showpiece. If people want to consider rap music than I consider my BCM a work of high art.

    I do a lot of gun shows in the Philly, York, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh area. There is such a large concentration of FUDDS there it's crazy. I also believe that general lack of knowledge is an issue in this area too.
    This area breeds the "I have a gun so I know everything there is to know" attitude.
    I dropped our department's membership at gun club in our town because we were getting yelled at for "rapid firing". The irony of a drunk "board member" running out of the bar and telling the police that they are shooting too fast and going to ruin the back stops.
    I also see the same attitude in local gun shops. I have quit working in gun shops due to the general lack of knowledge or stubbornness of the owners and other employees.

    I always ask them if they primarily are a Hunter? When they proudly affirm this, I ask them if they have grocery store near where they live... If they mention Game Management, I say that is a job best left to Government Wildlife Professionals than a bunch of bloodlusty dangerous amateurs and yahoos.

    A few may get what you are doing, the rest will delightfully go away pissed.

    The good thing is that the majority of the fudds are the "softcore" variety. They only like the "old stuff" and "gentleman's" guns and get REAL snotty with anyone who owns an AR or any pistol made of polymer. However, they are still mostly conservative and libertarian types who still strongly oppose any further gun legislation if for no other reason than they don't want any more government interference in anything. They may not give a damn about semi-auto rifles and 10+ round magazines, and they may even look down on those of us who do, but when push comes to shove, they still tend to side with us. The fudds who actively support an AWB or universal checks are actually becoming fewer and fewer I've found.

    And before the OP breaks out the cyanide pills, the Republicans control both houses in PA, the House by a substantial margin.

    Perhaps. But a damn large number still get pissed and pull some random shit out of their asses about body counts, blood running on the hunting grounds, and everything when you bring up legalizing semi auto rifles for hunting. The seem to think that as soon as you let your average hunter be able to hunt with a rifle that is semi auto they will be shooting at anything that moves.
    One step at a time I suppose.
