Brent, I don't doubt that some AR-15 Scientist will sort out a way to fire German WWII 88MM shells out of an AR-15 but it still won't mean anything. They are dumb guns for hunting and a bad choice for home defense. Look, I respect your knowledge and skills and I don't care if someone like you has a pair of machine pistols with ivory grips and Italian leather holsters. Botton line: you've got the new and abridged second amendment so just enjoy and you've no need to make any justification for that which simply pleases you. We'll just need to have different opinions on the AR-15.

Don't forget the sand bag rest and spotting scope. You know that a faster round isn't always the best choice when hunting in tight cover, right?

That article read more like it was from Guns and Ammo. And to your point, they were reviews of a type of firearm; a type unnecessary for hunting but attractive to those who hunt and also like unnecessary firearms. Sure it's my opinion but so was the article which, more than anything to do with actual hunting, seemed more focused on pandering for subscriptions.

Nope. We're getting bogged down in the details of why some guns are used for anything at all. Every last one of the AR-15 weapons in the Field and Stream Article have no practical use for a serious hunter who also prides themselves on their marksmanship. The real truth about their appeal is revealed in this quote from the review of the Mossberg MMR Pro "The rifle features a trigger designed by the fastest gun alive—Jerry Miculek—that’s crisp, with a creep-free break, and is even user adjustable for over-travel." Boy, don't that give a guy a chubby! The reality is they are over priced, dumb for hunting and poor self defense weapons unless you believe in the Zombie Apocalypse.
-
Why? They aren't really designed for the purpose, right? Why not use a purpose built and designed gun?
-
In my opinion if you need or anticipate the need for a second shot at whatever animal, except armed humans, you are trying to kill then you need some more range time and an attitude adjustment. The reason I quit hunting was because of guys that couldn't show enough respect for what they were hunting to learn to kill with one shot. My last day I was heading out for an evening duck hunt and before I made it to my blind my dog had picked up a limit-again. Not my sport, I thought.

The problem with semi auto is that the only thing auto is the second shot. If you are hunting critters that do not shoot back a bolt action rifle is best, a lever action is second best. Semi auto is never needed except to compensate for poor marksmanship. I also once was big on waterfowl hunting. Big as in I belonged to two clubs so I could get in the morning shoot and the evening shoot. For years I used a single shot Savage 12 gauge. Never had a problem. Sorry man, but military looking bad ass guns are not required for hunting.

Self serving bullshit. I may be a snowflake libtard but I know hunting and hunting guns. .22X guns are inappropriate for any game animals you want to drop with one shot. You might be able to justify a .243 Winchester or a .257 Roberts for close range Antelope or farmland Blacktails but if you are serious about confirming your kill you need more hitting power. I hunted Bull Elk for 10 years and went 10 for 10 using a Ruger M77 in 7MM Remington Magnum. Never had to track one unlike others who thought smaller caliber guns would do the job. The AR-15 Platform is not a hunting gun.

Um, unless one is ignorantly just lifting stuff off the internet to impress ones equally ignorant friends one might take a moment to be sure the words are properly capitalized. Just a thought.

All 74 Million are angry and patriots? Not a pretender in the bunch? It was an election, Ron. 81 Million is more than 74 Million. We win. You are no Patriot. You hate America. You despise what it is. You reject her institutions. You long for a Theocracy and you get downright giddy at the prospect of pulling down those demonic, Luciferian liberals. The idea that you think you have the ability to counsel others is truly frightening. Get used to it: you lost.

Please develop this belief.

.50 BMG. Made in America and smuggled to cartels in Mexico to shoot down Marine helicopters. You are impossible to deal with because you are always all over the map. Here, in your defense of self defense you elevate the conversation to puerile insults and weapons of mass destruction.
-
Do you need a grenade launcher or a Barrett .50 for the purpose? I keep a Beretta Tactical on hand and feel great about the choice. Of course, allow me to be baffled if someones own personal defense need includes an ability to spray armor piercing rounds through the wall.
-
That's what I was thinking. Where to start with the guy is always the problem.

No, it's not. But it is irrational to believe that any limits or regulations on guns will always and ultimately lead to confiscation of all guns followed by serfdom in a world where liberal elites jam their ill conceived socialist agenda down our throats. I have no problem being denied AR-15's with high capacity magazines that I can convert to full automatic. I have no need for one and further believe the reason I don't need one is because they'll never need me for the militia as long as we have our fancy Trillion Dollar a year Army. I also don't believe that limitation will further develop into a situation where my shotguns are confiscated and the gophers get the upper hand. I have zero problem with people like you who are trained and have vast experience with military weapons owning what you want. You're only a part of the problem because you fear the camels nose.
-
Nope. It speaks to the excellence of irrational fear as a marketing tool.
-
With this: "That said, with rights come duties. If one is going to own boomsticks, I believe that one must demonstrate the ability to handle them safely and responsibly." you effectively place yourself left of center on guns. With this: "Unfortunately, I see an eerie parallel between the championing of gun-owner's rights with those of illegal aliens." You once again peg the WTF-o-meter on number 9. With this: "Obammy's" you simply once again confirm a very sad fact.
-
And this speaks to what?

Where have all the Trumpies gone, long time passing Where have all the Trumpies gone, long time ago Where have all the Trumpies gone? Trump has scammed them them, everyone. Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?

Johns Hopkins Retracts Newsletter: "They Would Have Died Anyway"(?)

Really, that's the sort of dance routine for which he's used to receiving acclaim. Here is different, apparently. -
You're right. I hereby volunteer my 12 year old niece for Secretary of Education. Time for a kids eye view there. I don't think TriGirl should be given the option. I think she should be captured and forced to work for the greater glory of the state. Time and a half on weekends, of course.
-
Yes, and look what we got. I'm a Mayor Pete fan but I think, especially given what a clusterfuck Trump is making of the transition, Biden is better served by installing as much experience in his cabinet as possible.

In fairness at no time did he call anyone a no good fucktard liberal snowflake butt licker who should be chopped into fish food with the amazing ginzu knife. So progress is being made here. -
Mayor Pete is cool but was only a mayor. He has his uses but is yet to play on a statewide stage much less a national stage. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are tagged and proud "socialists" in the minds of 70 million voters. Unless we want Biden/Harris to be one and done they'll need to create a centrist political image. Like it or not they, and AOC and the squad for that matter, need to be quieted if we're serious about peeling voters in middle America away from the right. They're building a super diversified cabinet which should be a selling point in the next elections so I think they recognize it's about appearances and focusing on 2022 and 2024.

Thanks. I was being an unclear comedian.
