Your title left out the whole "and neighbors who store their firearms unsafely".
I would wager that the poll would have come out differently had those two vastly diverse topics been separated.

One I see hunters wield and the other I have NEVER seen within range of a deer. Could happen, just not something I have seen in 40 years of hunting.
I get your point, but you are completely ignoring the handgun hunters out there. There was even a magazine devoted to it when magazines were still a thing. A simple internet search turns a bunch of sites devoted to it.

Being a British person, can they just ban guns already? Gun corporations don’t count as people.

I'm fine with it as long as they're properly trained and respect it.
It all comes down to the same basic selfishness. Gun lovers don't want those crazies next door to have AR-15s, they only want themselves to have all the AR-15s, loaded and lying on the coffee table in case they suddenly need them.
Yeah not sure about the other responsible gun owners, but I certainly want my neighbors to have some firepower. Remember that firearms are supposed to be a check and/or balance against tyranny.
