More supercillious bull from the pusillanimous pipsqueak Jackie the Jokeman.

Take a position or take a hike.

[squibs]

To post # 11.
I agree 100%
As a young lad the enitre valley I lived in was farms, now
it's houses.

[Bluntpoint]

I took a position.

Oh to be so obtuse!

Take your meds now.

Good night bittersweet.

[jwalsh07]

I took a position.

Yep, your usual one.

they completely ignore the number one reason why most gunowners own guns today--for personal defense against criminals

AMEN!

I guess you guys want to sign up with the UN forum on "population contro" or maybe take money from Ted Turner and Warren Buffett to start a foundation. The fact is, only limiting yourself to two children when you could afford more (as is true of the pasty-faced upper middle and upper class) is what may cause a population "imbalance" between the poor and the shiftless and the productive. Remember: Those that breed will lead and inherit the future.

Another point, How come so much of what was once farmland has reverted to forest? Why is it that upstate New York continues to be depopulated? Why is it that every time I fly over this country and get a good look below, I see a lot of empty land?

"they completely ignore the number one reason why most gunowners own guns today--for personal defense against criminals
AMEN!"


Me and my boys went rabbit hunting today.

That said, if I never hunt again, I think the Second Amendment my may permit me to keep my guns.

At least that is what I learned in Law School.

Esp among the children of immigrants from asia, who are STRONGLY!!!! against guns and hunting.

Thank the pagan countries that they come from, where animals are held to be "sacred." Let's also not forget that most of the Asians who come here are "urbanized" and therefore susceptible to every argument the intellectual left puts forward in this country.

now the government is a friend . . .

Uhhhh, sure!

Hunting is a big red herring in regards to guns. I don't care if nobody hunts anywhere, that's no excuse to ban or limit guns in any way. Unfortunately, the NRA and other pro-gun rights groups have been using hunting as a method of legitimizing gun ownership. Bad move.

[Comus]

Anyone who thinks forests are gone has never flown from say Alexandria, LA over central Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. It's green carpet for as far is the eye can see. If you run out of gas you are going to land in a tree.

The Greenies have made hunting difficult by abuse of the Endangered Species Act. Hunting land is made off limits. Predators are protected to an extreme and they kill off game that would have been hunted. The wolf population in Idaho is going after a variety of game and there isn't squat that can be done about it. The reduced availability of game is causing a reduction in the number of hunters that are taking the time to go hunting.

I've been in Idaho since December 2000, but my company sends me out of town for weeks at a time. I can't plan a good hunting trip with the perpetual demands for out of town work. I hope I can get a handle on the problem before I'm too old and out of shape to enjoy my new digs.

Disarming the commoners is an Asian tradition. Throughout history, all the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean rulers have forbidden their citizens from owning weapons. They even issued edicts that prohibited commoners from practicing martial arts.

{Asians who come here are "urbanized" and therefore susceptible to every argument the intellectual left puts forward in this country.}

You are right on this point. Asian-Americans, in their quest to make it in America, would attend our elite universities for the purpose of receiving a quality education. However, they end up being brainwashed by Marxist college professors.

All due respects sir, but this article is pure propaganda in my view.

That's what the Barf Alert's for.

[M Kehoe]

Thanks for tagging this with a "barf alert", but I read it anyway. These people (i.e. Dahl, Brady, Sugarmann, Schumer, Finestein, etc.) don't understand that we will not voluntarily disarm. I hope they can come to their senses before they have to find out the hard way.

I'm getting sick of the hunters in my area. Yesterday there were two cormorants next to my house. Both had been shot and were dying a slow, miserable death. This is not the first time this has happened.

Hunters who eat what they kill I can understand. Randomly shooting at animals is an abomination and reinforces what a lot of people think of hunters; that they just like killing.

Hunters who play by the rules are the ones who are being adversely affected by the actions of thes idiots and it makes me wonder just what percentage of hunters act responsibly. They all claim to be but obviously some are lying.

I spoke to one fellow in the neighborhood yesterday who likes to hunt. He said he practices the "hunt and release method". He then laughed at his own "joke" and I walked away shaking my head at what an %%%$^$^$# I have living in my area.

If you can't tell the difference between "...may permit me to keep my guns" and "...SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" you have a problem with understanding the English language. Oh, I forgot, you're a lawyer!

as a tree farmer, loblolly pines, trying to hold on to a crop of 100 acres of reforestation, i find that i am battling increasing taxes by the government. they're most infringing and likely to make me sell off the land to developers.

yes, the property rates are supposed to be lower for agricultural use, but they are ever increasing in all aspects to meet government demands. there are no old forests, for they are ever changing, trees die, and new ones replenish the forest.... a well managed forest is the benefit of the earth.

and that means harvesting.
