Can a gun enthusiast explain the reasoning behind "The military call this an M16 assault rifle, but round here we call it a sporting firearm,"
What is sporting about an m16? Do you really need that much fire power to take out a squirrel? I don't know what you feed your wildlife on but around my area even a slug gun can deal with a rabbit.
and as well the comment , The weapon, he says, lies at the heart of the 2008 presidential election.
Really? why? |
The quote had a contradiction because first he said he calls it a hunting firearm and then he said "the weapon".
Which is it in his mind?
All those animals and critters can be taken out wiht a 22 (even one made for kids to use when hunting).
What kind of two legged critters do they go hunting for around those parts anyway? Bigfoot?
Now if he is talking self defense then perhaps he could have a point concerning the right to bear arms. If I had my way those weapons should be banned for hunting purposes at least.
The guy is paniting a bad image of true hunters and sportsmen with his lame comments. No doubt he also uses a whale harpoon to go finshing for lake bass.
More and more I see these postings that seem more like a comedy prank then anything else, or is the world really on the verge of insanity? Not sure about which one is correct.
