Yet Another MASS shooting,this one in ElPaso Texas.

That was not my point. My point was that you do not need rapid fire. One shot at a time works fine. And I agree, the AR-15 is a good hunting rifle. Accurate, light and compact. Ideal for carrying through the woods.

 

Just as there is no legitimate reason to not utilize them for the purpose of hunting.

 

When did that happen?

 

Such is not known for certain, as such was not witnessed. It is only known that such is indeed the case.

 

At least 20 people have been killed and 26 wounded in a shooting in El Paso, Texas, police said. Another three were killed and 15 wounded at Gilroy. Both shooters were white nationalists ... or worse.

And this thread devolved into hunting practices.

Trump's fans are encouraging this descent into the irrelevant.

 

Stop blaming legal firearm owners for criminal actions and misdeeds.

 

And unhinged leftie posts since Nov. 2016 have done NOTHING to help the situation.

 

Yes.

 

If gun owners really wanted to show what great marksmen they are they would shoot mice and rats instead of deer and other animals as large as giraffes and elephants.

 

No surprise that this thing devolved, Shanks

VERY uncomfortable for these righties to face the fact that so many of these mass-murdering terrorists come from their tribe (white, right-wing cowards and losers)...

 

One imagines Marxists masturbating to this. Soon . . . very soon . . . comrade our useful idiots will use such events to disarm this nation; and then nothing will stop us from taking over . . . spurt . . . spurt . . . splut! Tune into MSNBC -- er -- Pravda for glorious updates.

 

Clearly Wal Marts need to be shut down.

 

Yep and pretty soon that pesky ol' 2nd Amendment will be end-run with thousands of tiny laws to effectively disarm the population and then nothing will stop this nation from becoming the Utopia that is Cuba or Venezuela. The Left is no longer even bothering being subtle about their end goals . . . but first one must disarm the population.

 

Wellllllllllllllllllllll . . . murdering babies and disarming the population is almost always the first things that socialists and Marxists get around to doing. It seems to be genetic.

 

WTF are you talking about?

 

Never let a tragedy go to waste . . . and our political leftists never do.

 

It would be interesting to watch atheistic leftists trying to pray.

 

The Left doesn't talk about those things. Those things simply . . . never . . . happened.

 

Look back at all the versions of the second amendment it was about conscription and how to handle the need for an army NOT about individual gun rights

Conservative Americans don't do such things.

 

I wouldn't accuse gun owners. I would accuse legislators who refuse to pass any meaningful legislation out of fear of being singled out by gun lobbyists.

The gunman is the only one responsible. But many legislators are enablers.

Of course, I'm not going into who created this hate environment. I'll leave that for another thread.

 

Why wouldn't we become the utopia like Switzerland or Luxembourg or do you think we automatically sink to the bottom???

 

Blame the nation of Africa for allowing such hunts to legally take place. Obviously the species are not as endangered as the public of the united states has been allowed to believe.

 

You've included two fallacies in one post. First, that the goal to make the country safer by way of stricter gun control implies guns are going to be confiscated. Second, the presence of more guns makes the country safer. Neither is true.

Gun problem, what gun problem?
