Another Anti-gun Kook Joins the Obama Administration

Cass Sunstein, the new "Regulatory Czar," for starters believes in regulating hunting out of existence. He told a Harvard audience in 2007 that "we ought to ban hunting." And in The Rights of Animals: A Very Short Primer (2002) he said:

"I think we should go further...the law should impose further regulation on hunting, scientific experiments, entertainment, and farming to ensure against unnecessary animal suffering."

When you look at WHY he wants to ban hunting, you see exactly why this guy is a full blown kook. In Sunstein's Bizarro World, animals should have the same rights as people, and they should be able to sue humans in court.

"We could even grant animals a right to bring suit without insisting that animals are persons, or that they are not property." Sunstein said on page 11 of Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions (2004).

Well, that's a relief, at least he's not willing to concede that animals are not persons!

Here's more on this new Kook Czar.
