I’m totally convinced...


Sep 20, 2019, 8:16 AM

If you oppose citizens being able to acquire a firearm that...

1. You have never had to hunt to provide food for your family.

2. Your idea of survival is to “live another day” above the green line in the stock market.

3. You depend heavily on your HOA neighborhood security (AKA a hall monitor).

4. You live in Mayberry where everyone robs, rapes and murders people at fist point.

And finally

5. You totally believe that the police ( you know the “bad guys” who loves to brutalize citizens on a regular basis) will show up to save you and your family at the blink of an eye.

I have and so did my my father and his father. Not everyone grows up with the same luxuries fella and don’t assume that they do. Do I hunt for food now? Nope, but I can also assure you I’ve never hunted for sport as I don’t hunt at all now.

That is the problem, you assume everyone is blessed enough to go to the grocery store and spend $200 all the time. Some people choose not to accept government aide and live off the land.

your family would have starved to death if you hadn't spent your last $8.75 on a box of ammo (where'd you get that from since there were no stores nearby?) and relied on your hunting prowess and survivalist skills. I've hunted since I was a kid, although very little as an adult, and processed and eaten everything I've dropped, mostly ducks and doves. Except for that little shit that swam away in the swamp in January.

Your story really doesn't check out unless you're like 170 years old.

Re: Forgive me if I don't really believe that


Sep 20, 2019, 8:55 AM

Are you aware of how much food you could store with one box of ammo? Or how may meals you could feed a family with one deer?

Sure, I know you don’t. Not only have I hunted for food, I have given to others that were even less fortunate. I really don’t care if you think my story “checks out or not” , as I said I’m not going to assume everyone lives or wants to live in areas that has a neighborhood piggly wiggly.

I hope you are not so dumb to realize that even in 2019 (170 years later) people still live in extremely rural areas? Is it a choice? Maybe? But please don’t tell me you think that everyone still lives in a happily little peace dome.

60 lbs. of venison from it, and fed your family, who would have starved otherwise. I assume you were feeding them rotting meat, since you were so far away from civilization that you didn't have electricity for refrigeration. No, wait, you cured it in the sun like native Americans! Your family survived on jerky. And to be fair, I guess you don't really need refrigeration in the harsh SC winters, when the lakes all freeze over.

Did I say that I hunt to survive now? See there...assuming again! Again, I do not hunt now for survival, in fact I do not hunt at all now not even for sport, but I’m not going to assume that other people do not.

However, my point is that if “worse case scenario” happens, wether it be depression, some sort of fall out, invasion or hayl even a zombie apocalypse or whatever it might be, I would like to have an option to have what I feel is necessary to survive and not what a bunch of spoiled, uneducated hippies tell me that is unsafe for me.

I get where you're going, but can we at least admit that


Sep 20, 2019, 9:29 AM

the right might not be going full rahtard these days when they get concerned over slippery slope arguments? I know that making those type arguments used to be a fool's errand, but in recent years we've had:

Gay marriage rights (which I'm ok with) leading to (seemingly microseconds later) the fight for men to drop a deuce in the women's bathroom and have abortions and "preferred pronouns" (which seems a bit silly if I'm being honest).

long-lived Support for FDR-style programs leading to cries for full-blown socialism, universal wages, etc. In the Obama era and prior, anyone on the right accusing the left of an affinity for socialism was widely mocked. Now mainstream candidates are making it the crux of their platform.

Democrat cries to secure the border (in the 80's and 90's) changing to support for "Dreamers" leading to free healthcare and tuition for illegals in far left areas of the country leading to support for open borders (admittedly the last one is only extolled among a small minority of Dem pols)

Health care reform desires leading to the ACA leading to current mainstream candidates pushing for single payer.

The point isn't whether you agree or disagree with anything mentioned above---I'm ok if you do, but I'm not sure how it can be denied that the embrace of a more intermediate, moderate position quickly led to the push for a much more radical position. As such I don't think a gun owner would be a fool for assuming that if AR-15's are first, their hunting rifle could be next.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I'll roughly disagree on just about all of those,


Sep 20, 2019, 10:26 AM

because they're different concepts. The only similarity in gay people and transgendered people is that they're both (roughly) sexually-oriented concepts. And who cares about "preferred pronouns"? You can't force speech, and I'll be marching in the streets with you when that's attempted.

Socialist programs have always existed. We're arguing about expansion or contraction, and always have been. The word "socialism" has been destigmatized some and it's not the boogeyman it was 30 years ago. Good. We're accurate calling programs what they actually are. Universal income is a different beast, and I'd be curious to hear your solution for employing the tens of millions of people that will be losing their jobs in the coming decade or two due to automation. Different discussion for a different day.

I'm too lazy to even paragraph on healthcare and immigration.

But quickly, on guns: what is the purpose of a gun? It's to kill. Oh, you use it for target practice and skeet shooting? For what? To practice killing. A gun really has no other purpose. Agree, or disagree?

If you roughly agree, and you may not, then we can move on to WHAT a gun is designed to kill. Here's where you start categorizing by military-style armaments meant for the destruction of humans, and hunting armaments meant for, you know...game. Can you kill humans with a hunting rifle or buckshot? Of course. But that's not their primary purpose. Can you hunt deer with an AR? Of course, but who does that? Will that become the argument?

a) how rough we talking?


Sep 20, 2019, 10:31 AM

b) Saying that skeet shooting is practiced killing is like saying having a bonfire is practiced arson.

c) The problem with your argument, regardless of how well thought out or expressed it is, is that it's 100% arbitrary and open to a bazillion interpretations by a bazillion persons. The 2nd never said "the right to bear arms not expressly intended to kill someone", and in fact it could be argued that the intent was the right to keep guns with the ability to kill others.

Also, you're mistaking me for somebody who was talking about magazine capacities. But since we're here, high capacity magazines have been used roughly zero times by citizens defending themselves from tyrannical government in the US. High capacity magazines used in mass shootings in the US: > 0, and a pretty definitive contributor to higher body counts.

Re: What did you need to use an AR-15 for, though?***


Sep 20, 2019, 3:11 PM




Describe A-R 15 for me. You have to be more specific. There are AR-15s that shoots ammunition that is designed for birds, there is ammunition designed for small game like rabbits and squirrel and such and there is ammunition that is designed for larger game like deer.

See, the mean “scary” AR 15 is just a design to make the weapon lighter and more maneuverable with interchangeable parts. It doesn’t make it any more dangerous than any other weapon.

In fact if you do a little research, the military designed the AR-15 not because of its “scary look” they designed it for its practicality I’m any situation. It is simply their style choice because it’s easy to carry as opposed to the older heavier rifles that were carried everyday.

Also the very bullet designed to be used the 5.56 NATO wasn’t designed at all because of its destruction capabilities, I can assure you a
“traditional hunting” shotgun can do just as much of not more damage than any AR-15. I’m fact the 5.56 Nato round wasn’t designed at all to kill even in combat, it was designed to immobilize or temporary wound.

As for the size of magazine, I get them in all sizes and never once have I caught them doing what they shouldn’t be doing. Because a gun, magazine and bullets are inanimate objects and can not cause harm unless an idiot is standing behind them.

To answer your question though. I never have used an AR 15 while hunting, but I can see why some people would as like I stated, it is easy to reposition scopes without relighting, The parts are interchangeable so if something on it breaks it is easily replaced and it doesn’t require a hefty gunsmith fee to fix it and finally it weighs an extreme amount less than traditional hunting rifles and the ammunition is cheaper.

I get that people are tired of all the mass shootings, I am too! But I think it would be better to put more time and effort into removing the initial threat that is putting the real fear into people in the first place and that is idiots that have no place on this earth.

So until those individuals are all rounded up and tossed in a jail or better yet under it, I will continue to carry my conceal carry weapons
( one holds 15 rounds and the other 9) every place I go and I will likely keep buying AR-15s to use for Target practice and for home defense if I see it fit to.

I've not heard too many reputable/important people call for the elimination of all firearms.

Agree or disagree, but the current movement is to limit the types of guns and magazine capacities. I don't think any of the 5 points would be valid criticism to the current movement that is generally labeled "sensible gun control".

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think the point is that any reasonable person...


Sep 23, 2019, 9:49 AM

acknowledges that firearms can be limited by the government and still comply with the 2nd Amendment.

I think magazine limited to 10 is reasonable. If you're worried about an "end-of-times" scenario, then why not just hold a lot of 10-round magazines.

I think we, as a country, have to acknowledge that we have many times more gun related deaths in this country than most other developed nations. I don't think Americans are more violent by-nature and data indicates that we don't have a higher incidence of mental illness. The one big variable that is different here is our access to guns.

I'm a supporter of the 2nd amendment. I'm well-read on the history and purpose of it. I support the right of a person to protect their family and home. I support the idea of an armed citizenry to guard against a tyrannical government (although with military weapons technology that ship has likely sailed). But come on...the level of deaths by guns and specifically mass shootings is simply out of hand. We already ban fully-automatic weapons in most circumstances...why not go back to limiting magazine capacity and see if it makes a difference?? That seems reasonable and measured to me.

I've hunted all of my life. But I don't agree that military grade hardware should be available to the average citizen. .223 and 5.56 Nato rounds or AK 47's and those in this class. They're just too powerful. They were designed solely to kill human beings. That is their purpose.

I don't think the average American should be able to buy Bazookas, Hand Grenades or Grenade Launcher's.

And if you hunt deer, bear or boar with a .223 or 5.56 nato or AK47 you are a #####.

You know .223 and 5.56 is smaller than a 30-30 round right dummy?

Also, ARs, and AKs are not powerful weapons. My CCW has more recoil than my AR. It’s either yours arms are weak or you’ve never shot an AR before and watched too many Rambo movies!

Yet for some reason these mass shooters always go for the AR 15.

Terrorist always go for bombs, armed robbers always go for pistols, an alcoholic reaches for bourbon, diabetics reach for sugar. It’s not the object it is the person.

The more you deny it the further we get from solving the whole ideal

So what you’re saying is bombs should be legal?

And the food and alcohol analogies are terrible. Yea I can kill you by driving drunk but there are severe penalties for getting behind the wheel intoxicated just like there should be severe restrictions on firearms.

Your whole argument here is the classic and easily refuted “guns don’t kill, people do”....

So I’m asking you, should people be able to make bombs and own grenades, rocket launchers, etc.?

Noooo, again keep up! Those weapons are illegal! But my argument is that even if they were legal but are attainable with limited access and with heavy restrictions, law abiding citizens would still have them and not harm anyone because they obey the laws and the people who use these weapons to inflict damage will still use them to inflict harm regardless of laws, restrictions and accessibility! What part are you having trouble understanding?

I don’t know why I’m even responding because it’s obvious you are just being obtuse.

The point is bombs are illegal because they are able to cause mass damage. Guns that can kill dozens of people in a few seconds should be as well.

Common sense.

Alcohol can and does kill literally tens of thousands of people per year. Over ten plus thousands are due to vehicle accidents others are form long term consumption. That’s just the fatalities not the accidents where innocent people are left paralyzed or disabled. You say I can’t use alcohol as a similar comparison to a fire arm and I say I can. Let me go slow for you!

1. Both are perfectly legal to own and use in responsible manners.

2. Both objects have regulations on which you can obtain them.

a. Alcohol requires you to be 21 years of age.

b. A rifle requires you to be 18 of age and 21 to be able to purchase a firearm. (Actually firearm purchases has many more regulations to obtain in case you thought they fell from the sky) as compared to just one alcohol purchase requirement. You can’t have a felony charge, domestic violence or otherwise. ( I’m not going to go through the whole list but you can visit the SCDNR.com or SCSLED for other if you are smart enough to read it)

3. Both come with warning labels

a. You should not operate machinery or a motor vehicle while drinking alcohol

b. You should not point a firearm at another human being.

I think these are self explanatory and very compatible. The only difference is that alcohol kills more people in a shorter period of time throughout a year than any gun does. (Let’s see if you are smart enough to figure that one out). I would even hazard to guess that more lives on this website have been more negatively and directly impacted by alcohol than guns whether by health related issues and car accidents themselves or family members.

The only argument that negates the comparison is that you have a stronger feeling for one than the other.You wouldn’t want anyone to mess up your whiskey sippin would you? I’d also be willing to bet that you are sitting back sipping on an ole cold brewski now right? So of course you’d be bias.

There are restrictions, criminals just don’t abide by them. You still having trouble understanding?
