59. Only a very small minority of gun owners are hunters (1 in 5)
and most hunters also own guns that the prohibitionists are fighting hard to ban. Most gun owners own guns for defensive purposes or target shooting, and those guns are the ones that would be affected by the "assault weapon" fraud.

The "gun owners are primarily concerned about hunting" meme is a gun-ban-lobby fraud. We're primarily concerned about nonhunting guns, which are far more common.
