Richard Kyte: What hunters say about guns might surprise you (Fudd / DNC talking point alert)

“Five rounds are adequate for self-defense and in line with the ethics of ‘fair chase’ while hunting.”

That's typical ammo carry for hunters, good enough for deer, but what if you are in an urban area surrounded by 20 gang members? I'd sure want more that 5 rounds.

[Uncle Miltie]

I hunt tyrants who might arise.

[1FreeAmerican]

Agreed. This article is BS.

Hunting Huey, Duey, and Louie is not the reason for the 2nd.

Hunting politicians - those who want to take away my freedoms and right to protect those freedoms - is the reason for the 2nd.

[TigersEye]

OMG! You’re right. You’ve discovered the underground network of material thieving bloggers on the internet.

Wait ‘til everyone else sees this! Major revelation!!!

[T.B. Yoits]

Gun safety should be ongoing classes in public schools from about grade 5 on up. It shouldn’t be mandatory but it should require a parent’s signature to opt out.

And the firing range at every military base opened up to civilians with weapons and ammo provided to the militia.

[RedMonqey]

No where in the Second Amendment is hunting or sport shooting ever mentioned.. I’m a fud none of my weapons are included in the list of soon to be bann d weapons but one is an old worn out but still functional arisika type 99 short rifle.

Definitely a weapon of war that probably killed a bunch of allied troops.

The rest are a shotgun, rifle and a revolver. I don’t feel l the n the d for any other type weapon but I’ll defend the constitution that says very one eligible for military service and a clean record should be able to purchase one.

[TigersEye]

Yeah, not a bad idea.
Maybe states should handle that though. Keep the FedMob totally out of it.

I have never met a hunter who only carried five rounds. Most of them have a couple boxen of ammo, plus more for their pistol that they aren't hunting with. Unless they mean magazine size, but a lot of bolt-actions have smaller mags. That's not not normal, but they always have extra mags full.

I will say I've met one guy who (claimed he) only brought two rounds, but that was a personal challenge - if he couldn't hit a deer within two shots, then he wasn't good enough to get a deer that year.

[AZJeep]

Yes,
If you do not get the deer with 5 rounds, it is gone!
Basically all the hunted animals are a lot faster than humans and if shot at they will quickly depart.

[miliantnutcase]

Look, you can’t hunt with a cannon or an F-15 jack!

[AZJeep]

________

I would agree to a degree.
However gun safety is pretty simple to learn. Couple of hours should be sufficient.
As a matter of fact, the gun safety is getting across the people.
The number of gun accidents is going down constantly. Mostly because of NRA efforts.
Ranges have safety rules and force you to read them and sign.
Good hunting guide should repeat them every time he gets on the tour.

And if you enter "hunters gun rights kyte" into a search engine, this article pops up EVERYWHERE. What a coinkydink.

When you enter part of the title of an article, specifically the basic premise of the article, and the author's last name what would you expect to come up in a search? lol

Searching for just "hunters gun rights", I see about 10 results before I find something about hunters promoting Dem gun control. Well, a single hunter whose picture looks like the typical hipster 'lumberjack' city boy. And then another ~10 results to find an NPR article about some chick from NY/Oregon who thinks we need more Dem laws. Two pages of results don't mention "Kyte", and at that point I stopped caring..

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

[TigersEye]

I can think of two reasons to have it repeated from year to year. One, many students would have no interest in guns and would forget it all pretty quickly.

Two, it brings the topic up lending even more familiarity to the subject. Familiarity with firearms decreases fear of them both in handling and in the event one has to face someone using them hostilely.

At least that was my experience growing up shooting compared to kids I knew who didn’t. I’ve read the same thing said by firearms instructors.

When we get rid of public schools we’ll have to restructure the whole program though.

[TigersEye]

LOL I stopped caring and I didn’t even try a search.
He’s discovered bloggers who steal and publish other people’s materials.
There’s dozens of them. On the internets.

[drSteve78]

The Second Amendment isn’t about hunting.

Dittoes. I don’t hunt. I have a rifle.

[DoodleBob]

[ConservaTexan]

2A only applies to hunting during Despot and Tyrant seasons.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Sounds like 1968 all over again when the news media found a few old farmers willing to register their guns and tried to convince us this was the opinion of all gun owners.

The ranges where police train are funded by taxpayers and should be available to taxpayers.
