Gallstones, do you think everyone who kills things for sport eats the non-trophy bits?

I consider it a statement of fact--some people like killing things. It is not unnatural for any human to like to hunt and kill what it hunts.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:Is that really your attitude?Gallstones wrote:Some people like killing things.
So?
Why should that natural drive be suppressed?
Please give evidence that it is "wrong".

If any of those are immediately dangerous to a person or the environment that other animals depend on, then of course.

The only reply I have is that I am not an 'anti gunner' and I have yet to tell a lie in this thread.Gallstones wrote:Here's the thing, we don't trust you anti gunners--at all--you lie and you are irrational and you are ignorant, and you react and decide based on emotion and you are tresspassers with a complete incapcity for appreciating the consequences of what you would expect.Kristie wrote:Oh my god, I swear you're getting more paranoid and crazy every day....Seth wrote:You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you, which they are.Kristie wrote:[

Ah, but the point is that people like you always do so eventually, which makes your protestations and denials empty rhetoric. Once people like you succeed in registering all firearms (er, only those owned by law-abiding citizens who are stupid enough to actually do so, and never, ever the criminals) the inevitable next step is gun bans and confiscations. That's how it always happens. The only thing that protects our 2nd Amendment rights is our right to complete anonymity as to who owns guns and what kind or how many they own. This ambiguity prevents the government from successfully stripping the populace of its arms, which is exactly what you, and your ilk, ACTUALLY want. You're just dissembling because you know you can't have it all at once, so you and your ilk will be satisfied to take it one slow step at a time with an eye on the eventual prize of complete gun bans and total confiscation.No where in that did I say I want the government to take the legally obtained and legally registered weapons from responsible gun owners.
Well, let me tell you little lady, that's not going to happen, no matter what laws Congress passes to try to facilitate it, because tens of millions of gun owners will simply refuse to comply with such laws, and there aren't enough federal marshals in the US to arrest and try all of us, not that they would be able to do so in the first place.
Now, I want to know, from a person who knows squat all about firearms, which guns should be banned and why?
I want rational, knowledegable, suppoiortable reasons.

Do you have any evidence that a squirrel has loved ones who will miss it when it dies?

Chalk it up to hyper-defensiveness, Kristie.

Re: Guns used for lawful self defense Pt. 4
You have said some guns should be banned. As soon as you say that you make statments like "I don't want to take your guns." a lie. Your contradiction is evidence that you don't have the capacity to see the consequences of what you ask.Kristie wrote:The only reply I have is that I am not an 'anti gunner' and I have yet to tell a lie in this thread.Gallstones wrote:Here's the thing, we don't trust you anti gunners--at all--you lie and you are irrational and you are ignorant, and you react and decide based on emotion and you are tresspassers with a complete incapcity for appreciating the consequences of what you would expect.Kristie wrote:Oh my god, I swear you're getting more paranoid and crazy every day....Seth wrote:You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you, which they are.Kristie wrote:[

What rational, knowledgable reasons do you have to support a ban on any particular firearm?
