Sorry, hunting as a sport and for trophies is nauseating. It has nothing to do with a pioneer spirit or a need for survival.

No one is using automatic weapons to shoot birds. It is illegal to own an automatic weapon without a very special government permit.

An automatic weapon is a machine gun. You should know the difference, and probably do.
