Smoking Pests with a .25 Caliber Air Rifle?
Are you shooting democrats? : )
I own a .50 cal air rifle made right here in Missouri.
It is wrong to kill just for fun.
Something you do once or twice as a kid, feel bad about it, and stop.
Part of becoming a man is respecting life... The animals we use, eat, wear...
Killing for fun - taking a pigeon’s wing out for giggles - is immoral.
Agree about killing for fun. But we shoot pests frequently on the ranch - including feral cats.
Something about California sportsmen just ain’t right. Every article is just somehow....odd.
I think I’ll train my next gray squirrel to shoot this fart-stain in the face with a 12-guage shotgun. See how he likes it.
Ok, I'm willing to change, but what do I do with all these human remains?
Wow! I thought you’d get flamed for that, but I guess not. I feel the same way but was afraid to say so. Good job.
Air rifles have come a long way since the good ol’ Daisy pump. They’ve been around a long time.
Lewis and Clarke had Girandoni air rifles with them.
How many dead hookers does it take to change a lightbulb?

They had an air rifle on the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Kewel!!!
The Navy used to have 15 INCH cast iron air rifles. Used them in the Spanish American war. The ship which had carried them torpedoed itself during World War I (before Wilson dragged us into the war). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Vesuvius_%281888%29
The first chuckle of the day.
Yes it is wrong to kill just for fun. But when animals become pests they need to be controlled. Having a little fun doing it is not immoral.
I enjoy wild life very much but it has to be balanced.
agree
Shooting pests =/= killing for fun.
Shooting pests = killing flies with Raid or weeds with RoundUp. Weapon scaled up to match the target.
Yes, there can be a bit of pleasure involved in seeing an enemy destroyed.
