Only use a 16 gauge and a 12 gauge rifle. Normally have to rip the head off the bird afterwards. Shows you how much they know about guns if they think we’d use assault rifles to hunt lol.
It’s legal to bow hunt in my neighborhood. Over populated with deer. Around 100 plus just casually roaming around. Although I have only hunted dove never deer.
It's called exaggerating for comic effect (although the truth far more ridiculous than any of us can come up with). However given you can legally buy assault rifles if you don't use them to hunt what do you use them for? Appearing from shooting up civilians or 'defending' yourselves?
Nice to hear that you're play by Queensbury rules though and only use a 12 gauge against maneating killer doves. I presume the dove gets the same to make it fair on either side when you're taking part in this 'sport'?
Makes Drax's claims that Bond wasn't a sportsman a little bit harsh given it was a fair fight - the anaconda in its natural environment v Bond and his puny little needle.
If you were true sportsmen you'd hunt each other rather than tiny, defenceless birds which would have the added bonus of reducing the number of gun nutters out there.
Or better still put down the phallic symbols altogether chaps and rather than shooting a bird go and shag one instead.
It’s like someone being murdered with a fork and I continuously berate him for still using a fork because someone murdered someone with a fork..
It’s honestly super annoying. I guess it’s my fault directly that people died in Vegas and Texas all because I dove hunt every once and awhile and eat the meat geez...
I am sure 90% of everyone commenting on here have eaten meat before. How do you think we obtain the meat? So besides being a bunch of gun haters they now hate anyone who fishes or eats dove. Wow. Next time you eat bacon just remember, did the pig have a fair chance?
Isn't that what they're doing already?
The 'debate' on gun control in the US is over. There is nothing that will make people think enough is enough.
More guns = more mass shootings, so lots and lots of innocents being killed by guns on a regular basis is basically going to be a part of American daily life for the foreseeable future.
Who needs ISIS when you have the NRA?
And we know that God and prayer does not work when a nutter visits a church. So we now get the folks who go to church armed. So much for peace and loving.
I am really sorry for the average American who gets caught in this gun madness and would clearly see some change but will not see it even after all these massacres because madness rules the debate about gun rules.
You mean like worshipping the golden calf?
DO they use AR15's for hunting? Of course they do!
Feeding pests so they can hunt the predators! And obviously then claim it's pest control. And with those killer doves you really understand why they call it 'home of the brave'!
Don't blame the people in power. Like any parasite they are reliant on their host and trying to ban guns would see them out of office in a second, so, like any intelligent life form they do what is expedient for their survival by giving the people what they want. That's democracy folks.
If people don't want guns they have to elect people who would ban guns but as we all know being against guns is an electoral shotgun in the mouth to US politicians, same as not believing in God.
God and guns the twin pillars of getting elected stateside. And people worry about Putin and Kim having their finger on the button? I'm amazed they get a President as sane as Trump to be honest.
Where exactly do you live exactly? 1842? Police only respond to an incident by carrier pigeon and you have to hunt your own food?
In the civilised world we have evolved both animal slaughter legislation to ensure it is done as humanely as possible (and as a side bonus you dont have to break your teeth on shot pellets) and supermarkets to buy it in.
You really dont have to crawl on your belly through the forest, slaughter your own food, pluck and butcher it yourself these days. Unless you actually enjoy it of course. And that would be fine but is someone's right to participate in this 'sport' really worth having gun shops on every street corner and kids wandering into their dad's gun cabinet and blowing their head off let alone massacres?
And anyway I thought having a gun was all about protecting yourself or saving your livestock from predators? Now its about feeding yourself? I really can see why you need them - the all encompassing multi purpose tool of our age. Shit I want one now. Does it also do the dishes and give you a foot massage after a tough day?
The NRA actually only has approx 5m members. That equates to 1.5% of the population. They really should wield no electoral power. There are over double the amount of homosexuals (3.4%) and even more Mormons (1.8%). The trouble is they are organised and their members are relentless at lobbying politicians. If just 1.6% of the sane population put as much effort in then they could be beaten. However it cant be that much longer before 1.6% of the population have had someone killed in a shooting incident and then when victims of gun killings outnumber the NRA there might be some hope.
Fixed.
They destroy crops and kill pets.
There are rules. You can’t just go kill a hundred birds. That’s why we have game wardens. There’s nothing wrong with killing and eating your own dove meat. There’s also nothing wrong with eating your own fish.. Have you ever been to a slaughterhouse? I would say shooting the animal is more humane then what they do in a slaughterhouse.
Who likes cops anyway?
Oops. Damn autocorrect haha.
I see foxes in my bins every other day but that isn't seen as a justifiable reason for the government to allow all Londoners to purchase assault rifles.
I quite agree. I never said there was anything wrong with it. I'm not a wishy washy vegetarian (and have killed an animal to eat before you grasp for the 'you're a hypocrite if you eat meat but aren't prepared to kill it yourself' defence) who is particularly squeamish and if I lived in Scotland it might be a nice day out to go grouse shooting.
I don't think anyone has ever argued that a gun is not a useful tool for farmers but how many people who own guns in the USA are farmers who are constantly sitting up all night guarding their chicken coop from vermin? I didn't realise that keeping a loaded Glock under your pillow for 'protection' was to protect against a fox ravaging your chickens like a Viking. And does your tooled up 80 year old aunt go out crawling through the undergrowth on her elbows stalking deer?
There is justification for a farmowner to need a shotgun and a rifle. There really isn't for someone who lives in a town or city.
You're actually a bit like a grouse yourself - the beaters are driving you relentlessly towards the guns and your cover is getting thinner and thinner. You've gone from claiming that guns are essential to protect yourself from psychonutters because you have no police to claiming that if you aren't allowed a gun you'll starve to death because you're marooned 2 hours from the nearest Walmart. Before long you will be driven out into the open and left exposed in the middle of a field with less of a defence than Liverpool.
Utter garbage.*
Bolt gun through the head at point blank range under controlled conditions or some clown who thinks he's Chuck Norris taking pot shots at you which take off a leg or a wing and leave you writhing on the floor before his dog comes and finishes the job? I think I know which I would go for if I was a dove on death row given the Gary Gilmore option to choose my way to go.
Unless of course I have it wrong and you have the doves tied to a stake and are executing them at point blank range in which case I guess it is humane albeit not much of a 'sport'.
*Obviously I'm talking about civilised slaughterhouses. If we're talking halal or kosher they are far more monstrous than being shot. But obviously they are religious so exempt from the law that applies to the rest of us. That's a different thread though. If you claimed you needed a gun for religious reasons then you'd be untouchable; they'd even let you have a nuclear warhead if it was your 'belief'.
Chicken and egg situation?
You need guns to hunt chickens otherwise how can you eat them? And how else are you going to protect yourself against killer eggs without an armalite fitted with a laser scope?
Any of these goddam eggs that wants to f-bomb with me and my property is going home in a bodybag. Hallelujah and praise the Lord.
Even more so if it's one of those brown eggs coming over here trying to steal our jobs and impregnate our women.
Its them guns that kill people they should lock them up those pesty machines ;)
Did any of you know that soldiers are not allowed to carry weapons on a military base?
Nothing wrong with owning a pistol or hunting rifle at all. In the case of the vegas and texas massacres two things would have easily prevented those events.
1) Ban assault/semi automatic weapons
2) The military reporting all criminal cases under military courts.
Whats to stop someone from walking into a walmart with any type of gun and shooting the place up? Their security isn't armed. Most gas stations have no security either. Mall cops cannot even do anything besides "detain" and call the police. Think about it.
I am in no way saying lets have armed security at every public building, but just think for a second how un-secure a lot of places really are. The chicago gun violence which is at 600+ gun related deaths, were all done by breaking current gun laws. A majority of those criminals have felony arrests and under federal law felons cannot own firearms. So how do these criminals buy guns? Ah, the black market! Where non criminals buy weapons and sell them to people who cannot legally obtain them.
Bottom line is, like it or not no matter if our president is a republican or democrat no one will ban guns. They might strengthen our gun laws and add restrictions but they will never specifically ban all guns.
Don't talk anymore how awful it is as it will happen time after time again. The only reason you go to war all over the world to sell weapons or use them so you can get more of them. I think that the US is horny about weapons.
As an nation and with your army it seems to spend such an amount of money on weaponry that it takes a whole lot of nations in the world to match your output. And yet your orange mophead in charge feels the need to start up a program for more nuclear weapons because the overkill currently in existence is just not enough.
Makes you wonder when you nation decides enough is enough.
California shooting: Schoolteachers ‘saved’ children from gunman.
A gunman who killed four people on Tuesday in rural California fired into an elementary school but was stopped from entering by teachers, police say.
Staff at Rancho Tehama Reserve School went into lockdown, securing school doors after hearing nearby gunshots.
Authorities praised the teachers' actions as "monumental" in saving "countless" lives.
Police confirmed one child was shot at the school after the gunman fired into it. Others were hurt by broken glass.
Police later confronted the gunman in a stolen vehicle, shooting and killing him. He was named locally as 43-year-old Kevin Neal.
It is believed the shooting spree began after a domestic row with the gunman's neighbours in Rancho Tehama, a rural community about 120 miles (195km) from Sacramento, on Tuesday morning.
Police said they believed he went on a "bizarre and murderous rampage" after the dispute escalated and he killed a neighbour.
Officials confirmed the gunman had "prior contacts with law enforcement".
The Tehama district attorney told the Sacramento Bee he was being prosecuted on charges relating to a stabbing and assault in January in an incident involving two of his neighbours.
'This guy is crazy'
A semi-automatic rifle and two handguns were recovered from one of the crime scenes, police said. At least 10 people were injured in the shootings at multiple locations.
Police said he chose most of the victims at random, and reportedly shot into the school but became frustrated after the teachers' locked the doors and left after six minutes.
It is believed the school was alerted after a mother was shot at in her car while driving her children to school. She was reportedly seriously wounded but not killed.
The child who was shot has undergone surgery after being struck in the leg and chest, reports say. Other children at the school were reportedly injured by broken glass, and some were evacuated from the school and transported to hospital by helicopter.
"This individual shooter was bent on engaging and killing people at random. I have to say this incident, as tragic and as bad as it is, could have been so much worse," Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said.
The Redding Record Searchlight newspaper spoke to a man who said he was a neighbour of the gunman.
Brian Flint said his neighbour "has been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines".
"We made it aware [to police] that this guy is crazy and he's been threatening us," he told the newspaper.
The Associated Press spoke to a woman who identified herself as Neal's mother, who said he had told her: "I'm on a cliff and there's nowhere to go."
She said Neal was in a long-running dispute with neighbours who he believed were cooking methamphetamine.
Police have refused to officially confirm the gunman's identity until his relatives are notified.
California Governor Jerry Brown issued a statement saying he and his wife were "saddened to hear about today's violence in Tehama County.
"We offer our condolences to the families who lost loved ones and unite with all Californians in grief."
Vice President Mike Pence wrote on Twitter: "Saddened to hear of the shooting in N. California, the loss of life & injuries, including innocent children.
"We commend the effort of courageous law enforcement. We'll continue to monitor the situation & provide federal support, as we pray for comfort & healing for all impacted."
