Be careful when you blame hunters.  For this is exactly what the anti's
want to happen.  Have us split apart and fight among ourselves instead
of presenting a united front against them.
It's not "hunters", just as it isn't "target shooters" or "home
defenders".  Instead of focusing on that which will divide us, focus on
that which will unite us.  After that, perhaps we can safely degrade
into petty bickering and squabbling.
For as much as I've seen hunters question the need for some home defense
weapons, I've seen home defenders slander the very concept of hunting.
And I've listen to collectors degrade all that shoot guns.
