All of my life I have owned and used firearms. As a youth we hunted and went plinking for recreation. In the military a firearm was with me constantly. After I left the military, I still enjoyed firearms, but gave up hunting. There is nothing wrong with harvesting game. I just lost interest in it. I still own and use firearms, I just do not hunt. There are many of us in the firearms community with the same attitude. There are many different kinds of gun owners. It is a large group, and there is room for all of us.
