Can they come and do the same thing to the squirrel population in my backyard? I’d love to see them gassed and chopped up so I can actually eat my own fruit and vegetables.

you need a pellet gun or a .22 rimfire with some quiet CB caps. then make a squirrel stew and include your vegetables

You’ve got that right, a .22 LR fits the bill.

Still, you have to practice with the AR, and most of us aren’t likely to cook them, so, earmuffs on and have at it!

A Sheridan will do wonders. Don`t know if they still make them though but mine will still punch thru a pine board at a couple of feet and with a scope they are freakishly accurate for an air powered rifle.

I have a 20 year old pump action BB rifle, and I've actually offed four squirrels with it this year; success rate, though, is less than half - penetration wise.

I'm halfway hoping one of our desert rattlesnakes comes into the yard this summer so I can try it on that....I don't like getting so close with the hoe; wifey's terrified I'll slip and fall during the decapitation process. I figure I can get within six feet and cap a few copper bb's into it's gourd and see what happens.
