Should have been banned when grocery stores were invented.

That is so naive as to be childlike. Let us assume that you get your wish and guns are "banned" - what do you do with the ones already out there? Would you go door to door and round up the guns of those who have lawfully registered? That would be a wonderful way to instantly create an armed criminal class that is in possession of the many unregistered guns floating around the streets.
I do share your antipathy for hunting, but do not share your wish to ban it simply because you dislike it. Frankly, I find that kind of attitude disturbing at best - simply because you "feel" something is bad is not a legitimate reason to call for the imposition of your will on every other person in the country.
