[quote=cashflow]Why are men so fascinated with guns? Sorry guys, I think it’s just cause of a lack of something….What the heck do we even have guns like that available in this country?!? I’m sorry you don’t need to shoot a deer with something like that, where’s the sport in that? Deer doesn’t have a chance in ……!
I think hunting should go back to prehistoric days…good ole bow in arrow…at least if some wacko gets ahold of that, a person has a chance to get outta the way![/quote]
Deer are near impossible to shoot no matter what gun you have. Trust me, I am from WI. If hunting was only done with bow and arrow, you would have an uncontrolled herd. This uncontrolled herd would lead to more car accidents, higher insurance premiums in concentrated areas, starvation of the herd, etc. Not to mention, a larger percentage of deer shot with a bow and arrow are not retrieved because they can travel farther before dying.
Gun control has never proven to decrease crime. Look at England. If criminals wants to harm you, they will find a way. Only you won’t be able to defend yourself because being the upstanding citizen, you turned in your guns when the government regulated/banned them. I suppose you can use a kitchen knife, but that isn’t much of a challenge when the burglar has an unregistered glock. Usually anything the government implements is exactly the opposite of what should be done and causes the exact opposite of the desired affect.

October 28, 2008 at 11:43 AM #294525Allan from FallbrookParticipantDWCAP: Thanks. My dad was an ex-Marine, and I learned to shoot from a very young age. I also learned to respect the weapon, but to never treat it as anything other than a tool. Societally, we’ve imbued guns with such a mystique that people forget they are simply mechanical devices.
I also had a lot of confidence instilled from learning to shoot. I was comfortably shooting a .30-06 M1 Garand by the time I was 10 and that focus came in handy in many other circumstances.
I now have a 10 year old son, and I am constantly having to deal with the omnipresent thug culture that glorifies violence and misogyny and treats guns as a ticket to power and respect. It’s pathetic and sad, but these are the times we live in. And, unfortunately, for many people a gun represents a single, drastic answer to a lot of problems. People like the clown in the picture above.

October 28, 2008 at 12:10 PM #294554nostradamusParticipantIsn’t anyone going to counter with the standard penis size argument?
I literally ran into a deer while jogging in fog in Penasquitos Canyon. Once while driving in Connecticut a deer ran into the side of my car (head-butting it) causing considerable damage. There is definitely no shortage of deer.
My dad was a POW (held by the Japanese) in Manila during WW2 and taught me to shoot at a very young age as well. I also shot competitively (22 pistol) from a young age.
BTW Allan I got the Remi 870 and took it out to Carrillo Creek near the border last weekend. Border patrol came by and gave us some tips on “leaning in” to fire it. I mistakenly started off with magnum buck shot so my shoulder was sore after 8 rounds… Thus I’ve invested in the Knoxx stock to reduce recoil. We can take this conversation off-line if you like:
