Some Hunters Disenchanted with the NRA

Whenever someone says that, I politely ask them to explain to me what one of "those things" actually is. Usually the next thing that comes out of their mouth is "machine guns."

Nope - this is N. Idaho - people know what a machine gun is. They also know what an "assault weapon" is, they don't understand why people need them. These aren't isolated incidents, the majority of people sighting in rifles for hunting season will express this opinion if the subject comes up.

We had a poster up on our bulletin board - the one with Kerry, Slimestein, Schumber and "The Whale" Kennedy coming out of the Senate - I'm sure you've all seen it. We were told to take it down, the "politics" of it upset too many people.
 
I wonder what these hunter's faces will look like if they get their way, and in a few years Ted Kennedy, Feinstein, or Kerry are standing in front of a group of microphones telling us how no sane hunter needs a high-powered sniper rifle to hunt with, as a good bow is more than anybody needs. Doubtless it will be explained to us that if it can't be taken down with a bow, it's too dangerous for anybody to hunt anyway.

You know what? There would still be hunters standing there, nodding in agreement.

Sometimes I wish we would all sit back and let the gun grabbers have their way, just so I could watch the apathetic hunters desperately fighting the latest "sniper rifle ban".
 
That's funny. Many of my friends hunt smaller-than-deer sized game. Their rifle of choice? The AR-15.
 
If it wasn't for the NRA those hunters would already be out of the hunt.


Nothing sadder than seeing a man piss on his own foot.:banghead:

The PETA people have the "Hunters" in their sight for a long time. Without the self-defense and the paper-punching people and the NRA, these hunters would be gone already! Only politicos and their rich "friends" would "hunt". Remember the communist countries? No difference to kingdoms where only the "aristocracy" was allowed to hunt.

A peasant hunting??? Execution!!!

Our "Liberals" love tyrannies (they think they are a ruling part of it, ha, ha, haaa).
 
I'm in favor of banning hunting with guns now. One can hunt with bows and spears and rocks.

If hunting is important, let it continue, but let's get rid of those evil guns.

Next, we save the trout.

It's especially ironic considering that the longbow was once considered one of the most fearsome weapons on Earth, allowing a mere peasant to kill a mounted, armored knight.

About 1 year ago I was at the .22 rimfire range at my club, and I was talking to a regular shooter there and he was also an NRA life member.

I was admiring his custom 10/22 that he was shooting, and our conversation turned to the then proposed new AWB. He said to me that although he owned many guns, he did not see any need for anyone outside the army to have an Assault weapon.

I replied oh really, I then went to my range bag and pulled out a copy of the newly proposed AWB (thankfully now dead). I pointed out where it mentions semi-auto guns with the magazine in front of the trigger guard, that can take a high capacity magazine.

It specifically listed the Ruger 10/22.

He was left speachless.

Ignorance is not Bliss.:uhoh:
 
The people who write these articles must really go out of their way to find the most uneducated, uninformed person in the whole state and then quote him. :rolleyes: It aint 'bout huntin' Jethro. :fire:
 
Numbskulled nimrods

First, attorneys are like ER doctors, policemen and firefighters - as a rule, we see two kinds of people:

1. Idiots; and

2. The victims of idiots.

This does tend to give us a somewhat jaundiced view of The Human Condition......

That said, the stupidest people who call my office regarding firearms and firearms licensing matters are hunters. Period. A close second are shotgunners, and there is a lot of overlap in my state, which forbids hunting with centerfire rifles. As a class, both are wilfully obtuse.

There was a wholesale revision of the firearms licensing laws here a few years back. One license that used to cost a couple of bucks and was issued for life was declared a nullity, replaced by one which cost $50 every four years. Handgun licenses became even MORE restrictive, had the period cut 20% and the price doubled.

This law received heavy media coverage, both in the general papers and the hunter/shooter publications. The state lobby group carried articles about the effects of the new law for months before, and after, its enactment in its monthly paper and on its website. Still does. One would have to be blind and deaf, or confined to a cave without access to any media, NOT to have heard about this law and its extreme sanctions.

Who did I get belated calls from? Hunters and shotgunners, in that order. For YEARS after the law's enactment.

How did these cretins learn about the "new" law? They'd go to buy a gun or get a hunting license, only to find out that their "lifetime" long-arm card had expired 2, 3, or even 4 years ago.

This was, of course "news" to them because they are comatose as to the world around them. They are oblivious to the political climate because they are self-delusional and believe that they are somehow protected because they only have "sporting" guns.

Ask them about the anti-hunting agenda espoused by PETA or HSUS and they stare at you blankly. Ask them if they remember reading ANY of the numerous papers that covered the new law's enactment and they remain vacuous. Ask them if they saw or heard ANY of the tv or radio coverage of the law, or the Congressional campaign run by the woman who authored it, and their eyes begin to counter-rotate.

Yet they are all upset because "no-one told ME!" Obviously, rectal-cranial inversion precluded any apprehension of events in the real world, and their annual, 1-week entry into it for the sole purpose of hunting was too little, too late....... Not that they made any effort, even then, to get a clue. They, of course, get quite upset with me when I point these facts out to them and make it quite clear I have little sympathy for their self-created crisis.

Hunters are unhappy with the NRA? So what - the majority of the hunters I encounter are TSTL - Too Stupid To Live, still less vote. They buy the Big Lie that "sporting" guns aren't part of the ultimate objective of NO guns in private hands; they readily whore out the other shooting sports ('No-one needs a handgun/'assault weapon'/National Match rifle/.50 rifle") in any "compromise" that pretends to protect their guns, and they do not support any of the political groups protecting the Second Amendment.

Hunters, as a class, are leeches on the Body Politic. In short - they suck! :fire:
 
I do volunteer work at the local city run shooting range and I find quite a bit of this sentiment in the folks that show up just before elk and deer season to sight in their rifles.

Ah yes, this is a time of year that I remember fondly from my youth as "The most dangerous time to EVER be at the range".
 
Four out of five gun owners AREN'T HUNTERS.

Wish the hunters being interviewed would remember that before advocating the banning of all guns not suitable for hunting...
 
Tory, nicely put! Isn't the term vacuous a great one to use when talking about such people? It just gets me angry to see individuals who are WILLFULLY ignorant. When people choose to be (as one local radio personality puts it) double O stupid, they deserve what happens to them. :fire:

FWIW,

Rick Dykstra, a hunter and former police officer who now lives in Milford, Kan., also has philosophical differences with the NRA. He praises the organization's work in protecting hunting and other sporting guns. But he thinks it goes too far when it supports some other small arms. "I'm all for hunters rights," Dykstra said. "But when you look at the Second Amendment, I don't think our founding fathers had any way of predicting where firearms would be today. "I can see protecting our hunting guns and handguns. But a 50-caliber sniper rifle? I don't see why anybody needs a gun like that.

People like Rick Dykstra are going to get people like me killed.
 
This makes me want to get in my car and go have a discussion with a few of these nimrods. Thankfully, at least in my state, there aren't too many numbskulls like that outside of KC and St. Louis. I try to de-program them when I encounter them. When they aren't out poaching a deer or something.:what:
 
John Kerry is all for keeping the second amendment. See he told me so just today! :rolleyes:

I wonder how the hunters would like it if people who own guns for defense started cutting THEIR knees out from under them. "I bought this handgun praying I would never have to take a life...these hunters buy their sniper rifles only to kill as many of god creatures as possible"*





*not in any way my view of hunting, but an example of the type of libelous rhetoric they spread about black rifle owners.
 
"I belonged to the NRA years ago, when it concentrated on gun and hunter safety, an admirable goal," he said. "Now it is so focused on shooting down anything that smacks of gun control that it has lost me.

This guy needs to have his head checked out!

Doesn't he realize that if no one protects us againt gun control... there wont be any guns to control? Who is he entrusting his right to own a gun to??? Our esteemed elected officials?

What a knothead

Wow Daemon, I hadn't seen those before. Don't you all feel safe knowing your engraved, break-open shotguns are safe? The Second Amendment will be alive and well! :barf:
