Lots of this going around.
"I'm a hunter, but, I don't support yada yada with self-defense whatchahoosits."
When someone starts a diatribe with "I'm a hunter but..." or "I'm a gun owner but..." my first, immediate, thought is: "No, you probably aren't." It just sounds like astroturf with a narrative made out of whole cloth.
Or. They really DO support gun rights for what have you, whatever it is they are railing about at that moment, but they only want those rights for themselves. Not for you or me or those swarthy people she saw on the news.
I don't think the people that say that are delusional and unaware that folks will be coming after THEIR supposed preferred method of shooting sport. I think they are the enemy. Plants by Brady/Bloomberg/CSGV. I don't think there are real Fudds or their equivalent anymore.
"I'm a Gun Owner, but..." just means "I am lying right now..." as far as I'm concerned at this point.

If I hear them in some Media context, they're probably a Plant. But I have heard some of this Crap at the local Gun Shows. It usually comes from some Old Fudd who can't understand why people will shell out $800 for an AR, yet won't spend the same amount on his "Sporterized" 1917 Enfield he cobbled up 30 years ago for a $100.
Hmmm, that old guy sounds like Jeff Cooper...
A lot of them could be gun owners. They just believe that everyone should only own what they have, a old single shot 22 and a old single shot shotgun. After all what more do you need? They believe that hunting is a protected right. Even though the word hunting appears no where in the Constitution.
Saying "I'm a hunter butt...." just makes you an ass in my book.
NJT,
Jeff Cooper would buttstroke you to the ground for suggesting that he used $100 Bubba specials.
And I'd deserve it, too, Tam...
