Wow ...Same crap every time some mentally ill azz bag goes on a shooting spree. ….
ok lets recap this thread so far

only weirdos have a desire for AR-15's..so everyone best get rid of them or your destined to go on a rampage
no one has a need for high cap mags of any kind and drum mags are the devil
no one needs a AR-15 or any assault style rifle/pistol....of course not why would you , you wanna be a weirdo rampager
normal people only have a bolt gun ,shot gun or a bow. any other style weapon could lead you down the wrong path.
if your not a die hard hunter you shouldn't have guns . only the hunters are stable minded enough for gun ownership ,,,,but only bolt gungs or shot guns right

we have enough gun regulations
let the government take our guns and just wait and see what this country turns into in 20 years, if it even would take that long....

we need more mental health screening .and help for those that need it.
we need less kids growing up with TV's and the video games as their babysitters....as this desensitizes them to the violence.
we need more parents acting like parents and not trying to be their kids buddy
we need more consequences for when kids, young adults and even grown ups are doing what is socially deemed unacceptable. or illegal..

why is it kids or adults can read the bible in jail/prison but I bet you can't even find a bible in a public school.....go figure.
maybe a little more prayer in school might lead to less prayer needed in prison..

end of rant
thank you
carry on.

I want a 50-cal and a tripod. One of my best friends has one (owns a shop and manufacturing center). It is a blast to shoot. Expensive, but a blast.

Ikillbux is more of a single barrel guy

Pretty easy to put a list together from comments on here. You know, a list of who you could depend on when SHTF and a list of people that I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire.

Noticed that also.

There are a bunch of guys here that wouldn't run towards the sound of gunfire. God help them and any that depend on them.
Bruno, he also had a sawed off shotgun , pistols and knives.

Hell ya...i thought sum of these comments were bait...reckon I was wrong just sum true idots here

Obviously Bama isn't near as conservative as I thought. Many of you are just as bad as many of the peeps on CNN.

With it hits the fan I don't want 85% of yalls arss watchin my families 6.

IKill: It’s funny how perceptions of each other can drive an opinion of each other’s chosen individual method of participation in a shared hobby. For instance I find someone who is devoted to the sport of hunting, but doesn’t have any desire to eat deer meat, sort of strange. The whole circle of activities that eventually ends in feeding yourself/family is a pretty balanced, normal mindset, while one who is driven just to kill and then abandons the animal to others with no inherent desire to eat what he’s hunted ... pretty weird. But, that’s just me. You obviously don’t feel that way, and appear to be a contributing member of society. I’m not a complete gun kook, but I do enjoy old gun history and such. Apparently that strikes you as unusually odd pastime. I don’t mean anything harsh by all this, but it’s funny how ones emotional take on a situation depends on the perspective of what side of the issue you are in.

M48, I feel the same as you about deer meat consumption. It is some fine eating if prepared properly. I never understood the desire to kill just for the killing. In the case of predators and destructive animals, it's different.

I think the only thing my grandaddy wouldn't make you eat was maybe a crow. That was in the 70's though. I see a pile of meat wasted every year.

IKILLBUX I’m not belittling you for your comments or beliefs but aren’t you in the insurance industry? I’m guessing you like me do risk assessments. Here’s a risk assessment question. If the SHTF who would you want having your back? Someone that knows weapons, ammunition and is at the range daily or someone that hunts occasionally if the wind is right?

This will trump the Ms Muzzie thread, no pun intended.

I must be a gun weirdo because I own more than one AR type rifle. Heck, I don’t even know how many guns I own. It is no ones, especially the governments, business what guns I own and shoot. The 2nd amendment doesn’t say BUT anywhere. My thoughts about the 2nd amendment is there should be no limitations and no restrictions and that includes restrictions on possession by felons or on the type of weapons.

I’m going to buy some more AR rifles tomorrow. Can’t have too many.

You are either a troll or completely ignorant. Your 'traditional' hunting rifles as you call it are variations on the original Mauser 98 rifle, which was used by German and Spanish armies around the world for the better part of the last century. Throughout the history of guns, military weapons and their variants have eventually been adopted for civilian use.

My challenge with the frantic "do something!" mentality is as follows -

The AR-15 is a gas operated semi-automatic. Anything that functionally bans this, also takes out the Remington 742, Browning BAR, Rem 1100, 11-87, Beretta 310, and a host of other hunting guns that are gas operated semi-automatic.

Anything that just bans semi-auto rifles in .22 caliber, bans tens of millions of .22 rimfire rifles.

Now we are down to the "scary looking" guns, which one misinformed soul here already called out, because they "look like machine guns". Who gets to decide what's too "scary looking" to be owned? Is camo "scary"? What about the Punisher logo? Does it qualify?

What about the machine guns or sub-machine guns that LOOK JUST LIKE OTHER GUNS? The Glock 18 is one of the finest sub guns built, and looks almost identical to the Glock 17. Ruger made the Mini-14 and the 10/22 as full auto years ago. Does that put those two in the "scary" category?

The scariest thing to me is folks who have absolutely no clue making decisions about what others are allowed to own.

And specifically addressing the "gun nut" comment, I have always found that highly offensive. How does a man with knowledge of ballistics and weapons characteristics, who collects firearms that he finds interesting, peg your weird-o-meter, but some 35 year old who plays video games obsessively, or a grown man who engages in fantasy sports, or memorizes statistics about sports games, or pays serious money for season tickets to pro sports games, or spends the equivalent of a house on restoring a car that will never be worth what he has in it, is somehow normal?

We all have our own interests. As long as it is a legal activity, maybe you shouldn't pass judgement.

Truth. 👍👍

The shootout with the cops in Miami in the 80's had a Mini-14 as the main weapon as I remember that killed 4 armed and ready FBI agents and wounded I think 5 or so. That particular weapon would possess none of the "features" that would make it fit into the category of an Assault Rifle as we want to label an AR-15 with the exception of a detachable magazine... which most hunting rifles currently also possess. However.... Just as deadly as an AR.

These weapons have always been around and accessible. No mass shootings in the 80's really that I can remember.

So where does it stop. It doesn't stop. That's the answer. The goal of the liberals is to take your guns. That's necessary for a socialist government. Only the wealthy in Europe have firearms. They are expensive and the red tape associated with ownership ensures the common citizen does not own a weapon.
