Perhaps symbolic of what Trump and gun nuts have done to the Republican party?

Hi Jinx,
I'm now 60 years old and until 2 years ago never owned anything more than a pellet gun, I shot my dads shotguns growing up, but never anything else.
My son loves military history and hunting rifles, over the past 2 years we have collected.
a Mauser military rifle
a SKS Norinco military rifle
a .22 LR Ruger Rifle
a Remington 875 12 gauge shotgun
an inherited Browning A5 1952 12 gauge shotgun.
and a .22LR Heritage Rough Rider special Revolver
We are not gun nuts in any way, nor a member of the NRA
nor a lover of Trump.
Not sure the purpose of this article, I think big game hunting of a defenseless animal in what is virtually a shooting gallery is stupid. But, I have plenty of rifles now, and know when an how to use them.
My son takes it to another level, he can completely disassemble all of the rifles, clean them perfectly and reassemble every little tiny part. I have taken a couple of the above older rifles and sanded the stocks down to raw wood, refinished them and now they look almost perfect, something really worth owning.
I suppose since I go to church fairly often and own guns, I'm lumped into the "clinging to guns and religion" group, in the minds of wealthy liberal elites. And hey that is fine with me, they are completely out of touch with reality, something I have no acquaintance with.
