Is this the most Annoying Anti-Gun Statement?

[Tom609]

For most comments made by antis, I've learned that responding with logic just doesn't work. I usually cut to the chase by saying, "let's face it, if you were really being honest you'd admit that what you'd really like to see are all guns banned." To which they usually will admit "you're probably right." I then tell them in a friendly and non-judgmental tone that all they have to do is get 2/3 of the states to vote to amend the Constitution and I end the conversation there. It's similar to a discussion on abortion. You will never get the other person to move off their position.

when people say you dont need an ar-15 to hunt.. but if that isint bad enough the people saying it are BUNNY HUGERS so i dont see why they preach to you about it

Lots of hunters don't see why you need an AR when "you can't use it fer huntin' !" Not all hunters get that the Founders of this nation didn't waste valuable space in our nation's founding documents to ensure that they could go blast ducks and geese a few times a year.

When someone slings the "you don't need that because you can't hunt with it" argument at me, I respond with "who gives a damn about hunting?"
I'm generally seen in jeans, worn boots, flannel, and sporting several months worth of unruly beard. All that's missing is the copenhagen ring (I don't chew). Since I look the part, they're caught off guard when I hit them with that. Sometimes they walk off in a huff, sometimes they just stand there dumbfounded that I've attacked their "right" to go kill a turkey.
Either way, I kind of don't care. If they want gun owners to be divided, then by God, I'll go right ahead and divide myself from them.

My dad thinks AK and AR style rifles should be banned "because they attract the wrong kind of people". He also thinks all guns should be limited to 3 rounds total (even revolvers) because duck hunting shotguns are.

Huh. But I'm not concerned about being attacked by ducks when I'm carrying concealed.

"So I suppose you think you should be able to have nuclear weapon too."
I just look at em say "Of course."

But I am not sure that pisses me off as much as,
"What are you afraid of?"
Secretly what I am really afraid of is I can't walk away fast enough to avoid choking them.

To me it has to be the " people shouldn't be allowed to own those guns, they are just built for killing".
