Hunters need to separate themselves from gun nuts

The Forrester is the leftist's SUV. If memory serves me, I think it gets the same gas milage as my Explorer.

"Rifles are very useful-- just not so useful against the sci-fi weapons that the Pentagon would use on such an anti-government group."

The wording of your posts seem to encourage decent folks here to predict what they would do if the military attacked Americans. Nobody suggested anything close to this happening, except you.

Why?

[MonroeDNA]

"You'll need to find another issue other than RTKBA then to rally them. There won't be nearly that many involved in a para-military group ready to die for the cause."

I guess that's your way of figuring out here who would "die for the cause?"

[MonroeDNA]

"Barbara Boxer doesn't change any of her votes based on the knowledge that some people have guns. "

More "bait?"

Dale Bowman isn't a gun nut. He's just a nut.

"You'll be branded terrorists and you'll get caught and executed. The IRA did the same thing once and they got caught, too. They had the advantage of living in areas that were sympathetic to their cause. Guns won't ever be totally outlawed in the U.S. You may see liberal wet dreams like required gun registrations and such-- but those would be tolerated by the general public and the public would rat armed resistance out at every opportunity if the cause was gun registrations. There's a difference between supporting something like "general RTKBA" and having people allow militia groups to terrorize people by sniping out of cars-- even if those people are just politicians."

You are good at what you do, I'll give you that.

"You couldn't keep your activities secret enough to pull it off. "

I guess now that you have successfully introduced a scenario where the armed forces goes against the people, and you have successfully mangaged to identify people who have rose to your bait with what they might do, (kept the quotes, I'm sure) now you want to know how they will keep it secret.

Just to make it crystal clear, I seriously question you and your motives.

..."this article means absolutely nothing, since it is built off a false premise."

"False Premise: The purpose of the Second Amendment is to protect the right to use a gun to hunt.

"Truth: The purpose of the Second Amendment is to protect the right of the people to protect themselves from government."

Actually the 2A is about hunting. The right of the people not to be endangered or oppressed by a tyrannical government implies that when government becomes overbearing and tyrannical, it is open season on government, no tags required.

This guy is just trying to make himself, his hobby & his guns acceptable to the anti-gun people. But its not possible, if they don't think he is a gun nut, they think he is someone who kills for fun. He is, & always will be unexceptable to the anti-gun people or I should say the anti-gun nuts.

I was just messing with you, taking your post literally.

[Squantos]

FYI for review.....

[stand watie]

the REAL gun-nuts are the creeps like chuckie schumer, hitlery klintoon, teddy kennedy and others of that sort.

the SECOND AMENDMENT is NOT about hunting ducks, but rather hunting TYRANTS!

It amazes me when I hear a hunter who is blissfully sighting in his .300 Win Mag state with no hint of irony that he sees no reason why anyone needs an "assault weapon".

I agree with him.

However I would not prohibit the purchase or possession of AR-15's or Ak-47's, but I would up the age to 25 years old. You see, I've been hunting since I was a very little kid, I served 6 years in the Army and have shot everything from M-14's, M-16's, to real BAR's. (they are all inferior to a quality hunting rifle). In that time I have noticed the maturity of gun owners can be predicted by their choice of firearm.

Sorry, but WE are responsible for alot, not all, but a lot, of our own problems.

It in no way affects my right to shoot my assault rifle at the gun range.

wish I'd said that...

[Liberal Classic]

It is not from hordes of deer that the security of a free state needs defending.

[packrat01]

Will we Americans passively lie down before a government disdainful of it?s best citizens?

yup

Will we believe those who assure us that the police officer will shield us from the criminal?

Yup, again; sorry to say...

[MissTargets]

The trapshooters insist they are the "good" guys and condemn the black rifle set and people coming in there with their Glocks.

Yes, it is unfortunate, that some sport shooters are like that.
Most realize that their guns could be next. See why the Amateur Trapshooting Assocation is not moving to Illinois here

[USMC_tangocharlie]

maybe some...and unfortunately, probably a lot...but never me!!

Rod "the Second Amendment HATER" Blagojevich!

Evidently his family did not learn much from the Third Reich's gun control---and its results??

[ninenot]

...but even though your neighbor had "completely lost his mind," he never used one of his guns irresponsibly, right? So he sort of proves the point of the NRA, GOA, etc.,: most gun owners are responsible, law-abiding people.
