ORIGINAL: BlackSinMaster No complaints with him myself. Ask bamad a question he answers with depth and he knows fine well I hate guns I personally don't hate all guns,..... I like hunting and target shooting Myself. I'm just tired of the indiscriminate sales of "people killer weapons", the lack of responsibility of too many gun owners whos stolen weapons wind up in poor neighborhoods as currency for drugs. bama just hates the fact that his race, his political views, etc...... are the problem... and that fact being pointed out. and he has nothing to counterpoint with other than to lamely try to lump other groups in with it. People killer weapons, I assume you are referring to the so called assault rifles? Let you in on a secret, any fire arm can be a people killer. However, for the record, I own two bolt actions, six semi automatics, 3 shotguns, six pistols, and two NFA registered weapons, along with a number of replica black powder cap and ball and black powder cartridge weapons. The bolt action rifles I use strictly for deer, but then I was raised never to waste a shot, so never saw the need to carry a semi automatic to hunt deer. However, I also earn a supplemental income eradicating feral hogs, and in that, the semi automatic is invaluable. As I have said before, I have seen a full grown wild hog hit by a semi and the semi needed a tow truck and the fucking hog wandered off on its own power, not saying it lived happily ever after, but it wasn't laying in the road. Big boars and sows are not fat like many folks believe, and certainly not flabby like some farm raised pig. The are solid meat and bone, and dense as hell. I have seen adult pigs shake off single 308 and 44 magnum hits and still have plenty of fight, but hit them in repeatedly and you will drop them. Wild hogs are a serious problem in many parts of the country, and a bolt action wont cut it when you are dealing with a pack of the bastards. Hell, if the state of Texas would allow it, I would use the NFA weapons on the damn things, belt or magazine fed. But there in is the problem. Those people who do not support an out right ban do support banning certain types of rifles that have a very practical use in the civilian population. The only local that hunts hogs around here with a bolt action uses a freaking elephant gun, and he swears he has had a few that took multiple shots to bring down. The state record for a boar caught alive in a hog trap is 800 pounds and he damn near tore the trap apart. The biggest killed in Texas hit 890. There was one in Georgia they claim topped the scales at 1200 pounds. Now, you want to face one with a bolt action 308? Be my guess, since if you dont kill a big boar, you are going to piss it off, and unless you are in a tree stand, you might be in for a bad night. On another subject, some say gun owners dismiss the numbers, we dont. Hell we are even pro sensible, enforceable gun regulations. What we are against is for non shooters to decide what the hell a sensible gun regulation is or what we can and cannot own. No, not every gun owner wants a belt fed machine gun, and not every gun owner needs what people refer to as an assault rifle. Hell, gun owners really dont have an issue with the back ground checks. The NRA supported the Brady Bill and has announced it will support a ban on bump stocks. As for the statement the NRA is racist, I have to remind people that Charlton Heston, a life time member and life time gun owner marched with Martin Luther King jr. The NRA does not publish the ethnic demographics of its membership simply because they do not feel it is important. The NRA fought bans in cities with large ethnic populations not out of racism, but because those ethnic store owners have the right to own firearms to protect their businesses, a point made in the riots in LA after the King verdict. There is ample footage of Korean, African American, Hispanic Americans defending their businesses with guns, and the NRA supported their rights to do so.
