Current Attempts to destroy Gun rights in Congress

To aid your killing ability and compensate for your bad marksmanship


So much for "a sporting chance"




I don't think you've ever hunted an animal in your life

How about if all people in possession of a hunting license could only "hunt" in a slaughter house and use one of the painless killers they have - I mean if animal suffering is top of your priorities

If you just want to kill animals, you can kills scores every day
They love hiring people who like to work with animals

The worst excuse EVER





What if you shoot a poor bird with your 6th hot and it has to lie in pain until you reload....but not if you have the 50 round drum


Areal hunter places value on the stalk and marksmanship...not on the amount of fire he/she can lay down.


I guess "a sporting chance" is lost on you.
The movie The Deer Hunter shows hunting at its best - the ethos of one shot.

Having a semi-auto for a follow up shot is an anathema to a hunter espousing real hunting values


It would be akin to a Spanish or Mexican bullfighter using a double handed broadsword to kill the bull.

It's obvious you've never hunted and seem not to care about the suffering the prey.

I'm glad I don't hunt with people like you.

So if you care, why not eat meat from slaughter houses where animals are killed as painlessly as possible ?

Sorry. I just don't believe you're a hunter


I'm glad I don't hunt with people like you.


I don't think you hunt.

Slaughter houses around me don't stock the meat I hunt for.

Sorry. I just don't believe you're a hunter

I don't think you hunt.

You should of stipped at you dont think. Your posts prove that daily.

Think whatever you want it makes no difference to me.
 
No, pest control is not "hunting"

The Orkin man is not a hunter





So you want semi-auto guns to compensate a bad shot ?

Have you ever hunted large game ?




In your opinion

If the object is just to kill, then a Jeep mounted machine gun works even better
But it's not, the ethos of the hunt is in the skill of the hunter

Granted, there is a breed of "hunter" (and inverted commas is used deliberately) who think a chair tree and bait is "hunting"
I've even seen ads by butchers offering to collect you kill and chop it up for you. Next thing will be remote control guns so you don't actually need to leave your living room to operate the rifle in your tree-chair
The next step will be to totally automate it and activate the gun by infrared sensor, that electronically alerts the butcher when a kill has been made and maybe once a week during season, they deliver choice cuts of "your kill" to your door

Doubtless some will still call it "hunting" and claim an automatically operated gun would have a 100% greater chance of a kill if it was capable of fully automatic fire

If you answered "yes" to the above, you are the worst kind of "hunter" and should never be allowed a hunting license


In the UK there a phrase used "a sporting chance". So people shooting grouse don't pack (or rather didn't pack) semi-automatic shotguns to increase their chances of a "kill"

I seriously doubt any serious hunter, real hunter that is, advocates a semi-auto gun to afford a speedier second shot.

In your opinion. Is there any reason to believe that yours is an informed or experienced opinion? That you watched a fictitious movie doesn't count.
 
Slaughter houses around me don't stock the meat I hunt for.

Then buy your meat from a butcher's shop or a supermarket since slaughter houses don't "stock" meat


You should of stipped at you dont think. Your posts prove that daily.


You might want to proof read your posts, that betray a poor knowledge of English...daily


Did you get a total of three errors, including one a school child is prone to make ?


Think whatever you want it makes no difference to me.


I think all purchases of firearms, in the USA, should be legally subject to a 12 month "cooling off" period.

A 12 month money back guarantee, to be more accurate. Why would someone who has claimed he wants to reduce the ownership of guns advocate a plan that is most often intended to increase sales?

If they stock it at a reasonable price I would.

Resorting to pointing out typos shows you've lost the argument and have nothing else meaningful to say.

It's a pretty idiotic position to hold, but par the course with you.

Cool

They were a little more than that, and any impact your terse reply might have had, was lost by the numerous mistakes in such a short sentence
Did you catch all three ?


It's a pretty idiotic position to hold, but par the course with you.

So you think it's an "idiotic" position

But just now you stated:

Think whatever you want it makes no difference to me.


A position which now I'm forced to doubt


And secondly, you think making gun shops pay is "idiotic" but making media outlets pay is not ?
Explain that one please !!!!

Try reading a little slower if you're having comprehension troubles.

If you want to punish the group responsible for fear mongering, and even you admit that group is the media, go after them. You dont go after an industry that isn't responsible for fear mongering.

And violate the first amendment ?


Now that's idiotic
The media needs a self enforced code not to lead with shootings and not to sensationalize them. Obviously the code would allow for high profile, international news, shootings to be an exception


You dont go after an industry that isn't responsible for fear mongering.

Who says they're not ?
They're parasites selling death and making money from it

Going after them will reduce gun supply IMO


In the same way that I think going after tobacco companies with lawsuits cuts cigarette supply.

If you view the gun industry as a parasite then we are done. If you want to drop the hyporbale and have a debate fine if not go about your day.

The gun industry feeds off the public


Take a look around a typical gun shop, almost every gun is for recreation purposes.

Gun owners recreation comes a poor second to public safety


You would prefer to think of gun shops like you think of Orkin and providing a necessary public service.

I totally dispute that.

Bull**** they sinply offwr a product that people choose to buy.

The same gun can be uses for recreation, personal defense, and hunting. So that stament makes no sense whatsoever.

What a bull **** thing to say that is nothing more than a cheap emotional diatribe.

Ok we will not agree and I will always oppose what I view as idiotic laws and policies around guns

Same as tobacco companies


Your proof reading is lacking again :)

A hunting rifle can be used for home defense
Most pistols found in gun shops can't be used for hunting



What a bull **** thing to say that is nothing more than a cheap emotional diatribe.


So in other words you have no counter argument except to rant


There is an old adage among lawyers that says, "If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table."


You just "pounded the table"


Ok we will not agree and I will always oppose what I view as idiotic laws and policies around guns


I will always oppose guns in private ownership*

*NB: Not all guns but something akin to British gun laws

WTF are you talking about. Please explain exactly why you can't use any hand gun purchased in a gun shop for hunting. My Ruger SR 22 wouldn't be my first choice for hunting squirrels but it would be able to do the job. Any handgun a gun store sells can in fact be used for hunting as long as a locality allows it.

Range mostly

That and stopping power for large game and too inaccurate for small game.
 
LOL, nope, no-one except you

I even quoted the NY Times review stating how the Joker lost


But go ahead a quote some people's thoughts on how the Joker "won"
You can't


Your posts are pathetic beyond belief




Socialism is entirely patriotic
It is motivated by the common good - as yes the implementation of socialism has failed many times but that doesn't mean the ultimate goal isn't patriotic

Contrast this with a largely capitalist economy in the USA which is entirely motivated by personal gain at the expense of others.


Just one more stupid thing you have said.

the NY times and the MSM hated joker for the fear and hysteria of mass shootings, they can't say the enemy of them won

Are you *****ng kidding me, socialism is not patriotic, it is greed, patriotic is confidence is ones nation, socialism is shi*tting on a nation, no economic system defines patriotism.
 
the NY times and the MSM hated joker for the fear and hysteria of mass shootings, they can't say the enemy of them won


But you said everyone agrees that the Joker won....but can't name, quote or reference a single person

Another of you lies it seems

No, socialism is patriotic. To each according to their needs, from each according to his abilities. (OK, we haven't got Socialism to work yet, but its goals are way more patriotic than those of capitalism)

The capitalist ethos is me first and personal greed.

The NYT couldn't admit they were wrong and that somebody that they hated on won, so they claimed he was some victim

BS, socialism is greed

No economic system defines patriotism

Socialism hasn't worked because it sucks

Ok they are all good reasons why a hand gun wouldn't be the best first choice in hunting. But you said a hand gun CAN'T be uses for hunting, whenin fact it can be.
 
The NYT couldn't admit they were wrong and that somebody that they hated on won...


OMG, you just can't stop lying can you ?

Citation please


BS, socialism is greed


Explain how an economic system founded on the common good, promotes "greed"
That's capitalism


No economic system defines patriotism


One that promotes the common good does

One that promotes personal gain does not.



Socialism hasn't worked because it sucks


How articulate of you.

Another intellectual analysis from a typical Trumpist.




Ladies and gentleman, this year's entry for the Nobel prize in Economics goes to....

You can use a hand gun for killing perhaps

Maybe a beast caught in a trap....is that what you mean by "hunting"


The marines could have used hand guns to storm Iwo Jima....they'd probably have lost though.

{You just can not stop lying, like OMG, what a meanie}

Socialism wants to take peoples livings and give them to other people

Personal gain is socialism, Bernie stopped calling out millionaires once he became one, instead he only targeted billionares

Prove that socialism works, test, demonstrate and prove it rich

No perhaps about it you can use a handgun to hunt.

Who said anything about trapping? I sure didn't. That's just ypur imagination going wild.
The marines could have used hand guns to storm Iwo Jima....they'd probably have lost though.
Nice little deflection you have going on there. But, Marines on Iwo Jima have absolutely nothing to do with you incorrectly asserting you can't hunt with a handgun.
