Since your Dad doesn't hunt, he shouldn't own a 454? You are using the same logic anti-gunners use for deciding which weapons we should be able to own. Which activity or profession makes one eligible to own a semi-auto handgun? What about semi-auto rifle?
The 454 is a very versatile gun, with commercial loads ranging from soft shooting 45 Colt cowboy loads to bone crunching high velocity 454 T-Rex killer loads. Some are easy to shoot, some are very unpleasant to shoot.
As with the 500 magnum, the max loads might be unpleasant to some, a hell of a lot of fun to others, but the lighter loadings are pleasant to shoot. Which is why it'd be hard for me to classify either as "insane."
I don't hunt either, but if I ever decide to, I don't have to limit my choices due to not having enough gun to do the job.
My Dad would tell me to get stuffed if I told him he'd be better off selling one of his guns. And rightly so, since it's not my job to decide that for him, unless he gets mentally or physically infirm.
