Block’s column off the mark on women shooters
I am responding to George Block’s article in Sunday’s newspaper about women being the reason for a lack of ammunition. So I guess there shouldn’t be any women in the outdoors or women shooting events or any young girls using ammo to advance their desire to become more involved in sporting events?
I guess they should go back to cleaning houses and baking cookies they way the did in the old days. Just because females want to be involved in sporting events and hunting doesn’t mean they are the cause of a lack of ammo.
Do you realize what’s going on in this country?
Every day you see shootings in the paper, not just Pittsburgh but Washington and the surrounding areas. Where do they get their ammo?
Recently, I called a gun shop and they said they had what I wanted. When I arrived, he said they were reserved for his preferred customers, the people who purchase guns off him. And my wife went to a local gun shop waited, which I would not have done, because she said they attended to the male customers before her, which is not right. According to Block, that is why there is a lack of ammo, because of women.
Gender is not the reason for the shortage of ammo. I just hope that our grandchildren are able to enjoy the sport and nature as much as we have enjoyed it in our lives. And the Pennsylvania Game Commission is wondering why there is a lack of hunters. I just hope our grandchildren continue with their love of the outdoors, no matter what George Block thinks about women using up all the ammo.
