"We need responsible hunters and sportsman to step up and join us."

We do not have to justify that right to anyone. We do not have to limit our use of firearms to hunting or sports.

The event kicked off with Rev. Gary Hall preaching about gun violence to the cameras, a mix of church and state liberals typically frown upon unless it serves a certain political purpose.
