    Yes, it is a pejorative term coined by Jeff Cooper in the 1960s. "Hoplon" is Greek for "arms".

    Trophy hunting and canned hunting are two entirely different things.

    You're right but aren't they combined sometimes in places like Africa for rich foreigners?

    I'd be one of those foreigners. I've NEVER had anything even remotely considered a canned hunt in Africa. Getting a trophy Puku and Sitatunga were physically the hardest of my life. Some of the buff hunts came close.

    They won't be selling any guns any more. Did you read the article?

    Did you have to drill to fit that scope mount? That's the only thing I hate about AK's. Well, that and the safety.

    Many of the children was killed by their own pet. Tell me again how the parents were not watching out for their kids?? You expect me to have sympathy for them??

    Say you. You don't speak for all NRA members. Remind me about how the NFL was going to be bankrupt due to loss of viewership. Those people watched football again LOL.

    Who is moving the goal post? You came up with an idiotic deflection and is butt hurt that I called you on it. Again, how many swings per minute can someone swing a bat vs how many bullets can be fired per minute from an semi automatic?? Look up the definition of mass shooting and get back with me.

    Uh viewership was down. That's not disputable. I don't think anyone said the NFL would go bankrupt. We will see how well Dick's aka Stupid Johnson Sport does in Sept when sporting guns and ammo sales start to peak.

    The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting.

    Of course you're not. People who only want to get rid of guns can never understand the real cause of all the deaths. It is only the human pulling the trigger which causes the deaths, if it is not guns they will use something else like they do in Europe with knives and vehicles. So the true cause of all the deaths is the human itself not the instruments they use.

    Agreed, but since some have used hunting as a defense for bearing arms, the anti-gunners go for it....along with the "Don't shoot Bambi" mob.

    Yes, people who love guns use that argument all the time but the fact remains that guns make the killing sooo much easier. That is a fact. You do realize that knives and vehicles are used there because there are not nearly so many guns as there are here and the death tolls are much less.
    Your argument doesn't hold water.

    While the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting, it also doesn’t grant you the power to have an endless amount of weaponry. You know this.
