But I get extremely nervous when I'm sitting in the front room of a house (having been invited over to play a game) when suddenly two guys show up with AR-15's and start unloading them and comparing them and talking them up...passing them back and forth. I just don't like being around those things.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651058317830668643.post-43515023103964375292016-06-20T11:51:43.958-04:002016-06-20T11:51:43.958-04:00Even worse than using a machine gun to hunt is the...Even worse than using a machine gun to hunt is the people who "hunt" by luring in prey animals with bait and then sit in a tree and kill them. There's no "hunt" in hunting. No one's creeping through the woods trying to ind an animal to kill...they just sit there and wait for it to come to them and then they get drunk to celebrate their victory over the animal. <br /><br />I got into a gun debate with a bunch of idiots of the weekend; they used all the same boring and lame excuses. They need their guns to defend themselves, they need their guns to stop the government from going rogue and turning on the people, they need it because they're entitled to it...yadda yadda yadda...they can't even wrap their minds around the fact that they're not going to get their John Wayne moment, they aren't holding the line against the government, and they aren't going to re-live the Alamo. The government has way more firepower than a bunch of hicks with guns...but they still think they're stopping the government from doing something. Tell that to the drone that will kill them from altitude with a GPS-guided bomb they never even knew was there. It's all so ridiculous.

People need to start compromising so at least the assault riffles are banned. They shouldn't even be allowed to sell them. Nobody needs those. But I think pro-gun people fear if one type of gun is banned it will just move on to all being banned someday. In this case, the shooter was on a watch list and still wasn't stopped. What good is the watch list if nobody is watching? Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922596724107742478noreply@blogger.com
