TechnosoulWhat kind of two legged critters do they go hunting for around those parts anyway? Bigfoot?

And why do they hunt them? A few rounds in a rabbit and it's no good for food or pelt.

tivodan1116 Except that the M-16 is a military only rifle. The rifle these men are shooting is an AR-15, the civilian semi-automatic version, which is no more dangerous or deadly than your common hunting rifle.

So then it would seem that gun supporters like Farnes Williams is either willing to lie to get support or he can't tell the difference between one gun and another. Either way his word is suspect.

I don't know, why don't you ask any of the thousands of youngsters that take part in their high school rifle team? Why don't you ask the IOC, since shooting is an Olympic sport in several forms? Why don't you ask ESPN, who puts many different types of shooting events on their channels?

Personally if i were putting together a rule about assault guns then organised sports and the teaching of gun awareness and the enjoyment of viewing these things would be exempt.
But to hand them over to people who want to massacre a rabbit just for fun is a bit much. They can always use a shotgun .

I suppose I should explain my position - I think that law-abiding citizens who pass a background check and can state in one sentence a legitimate reason for owning a weapon should be allowed to purchase any firearm they would like to have after a 5-day waiting period. These things are all possible and entirely feasible with modern technology. My point is that there is no reason to limit law-abiding citizens to particular types of weapons

I agree with your position.

My reason is that it is how the gun is used. Encouraging butchery of wildlife does nothing for any pro gun stance.
