For 19 years. 19 empty, stagnant, meaningless years we should not even add to our age, they went by so bleeping fast, because nothing happened in them! Nothing worth remembering at all, except maybe Justin Bieber!What? You think AR-15's and other similar semi-automatic rifles (so-called weapons of war/ mass murder) are the first semi-automatic rifles that Americans have ever used or seen before them or something. I learned how to shoot and handle a real firearm with a Browning .22 caliber semi-automatic carbine rifle that could go pop, pop, pop, pop in a few seconds if you weren't all that interested in shooting with accuracy and grouping multiple shots with accuracy.
You have no business cheating as a hunter by using semi-automatics! Hunting is not a war. Use a rifle, like a real man! ha ha!
Pop pop pop pop pop in less than 2 seconds. Bah! Cheating! Deadly for shooting innocent people.
You have no business sticking your nose in my business and telling me which kind of rifle suits me better for hunting or for personal or a common defense. You might feel that you have some authority or possibly think/ believe that you represent some sort of an authority figure in the minds of clueless people and scaredy cat adults in general. Well, I'm not a clueless person or a scaredy cat. So, you have an issue with the presence of a legitimate adult who doesn't lack courage/balls, who isn't afraid to face criticism, take on criticism and duly apply criticism, who knows enough about most things related to American life, economics and history in general to keep people like you honest and label people like you as dishonest or ignorant.
Yeah, I do and society does. You have no business owning military weapons. AR-15s are the weapon of choice for mass murderers. Massacre victims are saying enough is enough, and we will have our way. Hunting culture needs to go back to real hunting culture, not a war on nature or a war on deer.
You are perfectly welcome to express your contrary opinion, and none of us around here are afraid to express our opinions or correct what we see as ignorance or dishonesty. I question why you feel the need to declare your rights and ability to do this. Even though you don't like me, I am fine to have you and your point of view expressed here.
Personally I don't think there's a need for a hunting culture for sport or meat eating, but I know there are other points of view on this, and if we become a fully civilized society, we will be able to sort out the various needs and cultures and come to agreements that serve the people. Republicans are now unable to do this, for the most part. Once you guys are politically defeated, you will be able to come to the table as part of a moderate center-right coalition (perhaps in what is now the Democratic Party) and participate in a civilized society, and leave the Paul Ryans, Newt Gingriches, and Donald Trumps on the lunatic fringe where they belong. This may take a while to happen, but on the other hand, 4Ts move fast and we may move quite a ways toward this goal in the 2020s.
