What is a "traditional" hunting rifle?

Do you know the Winchester Model 70 and the Remmington Model 700, both considered very popular hunting rifles, were the sniper rifles in Nam?

One of his buzzwords, like "assault weapon". It's meaningless.

Yes, I like all this “traditional hunting rifle” stuff I read. What is it? What are they? Besides, the people who wrote the 2nd amendment weren’t thinking about hunting.

I’ve killed the most deer during the past 25 years with one of my several black powder muzzle loaders but I’m not readh8ng for one of those guns if someone breaks into my house.

Most deer are killed with an automobile.

You don't have a constitutional right to high capacity ammunition clips combined with a semi -automatic rifle.

Rights don't come from a piece of paper. There is no such thing as a "constitutional right". The right of self defense is inherent. Yes....with ANY weapon. The 2nd amendment specifically directs government to not mess with this right.

There is no legitimate civilian need for that kind of weapon.

You don't get to decide what is a "legitimate" weapon.

I could kill you with a traditional hunting rifle, shotgun, or revolver. But it would be more challenging to quickly kill and maim dozens of unwitting victims with those weapons.

You have trouble killing a fly. Hoplophobics like you don't shoot guns, don't know how to load them or handle them safely, don't know how to aim and shoot, and depend on meaningless buzzwords to try to describe or categorize guns.

That's what we're talking about, mass murder of dozens of victims.

Shoot back.

I read that 87 bullet casings and three empty ammo clips were found were he shot from.

He had almost 90 bullets and only needed three high capacity clips (assuming they were 30 round clips) to execute and maim all those people. That is a lot of firepower available to him in a short period of time.

Shoot back. Tackle him. Kick the crap out of him. Anything it takes to neutralize the threat.

The NRA's influence over DC

You DO realize that the purpose of the NRA is to lobby and to promote gun safety, RIGHT?????!? The NRA does NOT condone criminal activity, dumbass!

can be compared to our new radical SCOTUS.

What is radical about the Constitution?????!? Oh, that's right...YOU support The Oligarchy and DISCARD the Constitution!!!

Completely out of step with the majority of Americans.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You don't get to speak for everybody! You are not God!

We have to decide as a people: is this how we really want to live?

Are you more than one personality now???????!?

After the San Bernadino attack, the government went all out w/ travel bans, surveillance and other measures against foreign threats. We have the equivalent of a San Bernadino every week now, and no place in America is safe.

So move out of the SDTC....Nah. Stay there. You like it so much!

What do we want our country to be like? Voters have to make themselves heard.

Not possible due to election fraud by DEMOCRATS.

An alcohol bottle isn't going to kill anyone except the person drinking it. Same with fatty foods. Not true with guns. That's why we have insurance for your home or your car. We should require it to own a firearm. Do you have a substantive argument against the proposal?

Unconstitutional.

[Into the Night]

Why? Give me a reason.

RQAA. That question has already been answered. Stop asking it mindlessly over and over.

Most deer are killed with an automobile.

As are more people.

Ban high capacity ammunition clips.

It would be perfectly constitutional.

Mass murder involving dozens of unwitting victims would be much harder to accomplish with a shotgun, traditional hunting rifle, or 357 magnum.

High capacity ammunition clips are a military innovation intended for battlefield conditions. There is no legitimate need for a civilian to be locked and loaded with that much ammunition.

My family has a watermelon farm in East Texas and feral pigs do enormous damage to a crop destroying 10s of thousands of dollars of melons and vines if left unchecked. The herds often have more than a hundred pigs. We need to kill as many as we can before they scatter. The AR 15 with a night scope is the perfect tool for our needs.

Me too. Next, they'll go after ammunition, starting with the bigger calibers. I'm safe, my .220 Swift (a .223 Magnum) would classify as a .22.
But no, the founders weren't thinking about hunting guns. the citizens back then could own cannons.

My father was big into black powder. He was a friend of Don Getz, a premier barrel maker. He'd drive up there just to shoot the breeze. I have a PA. Long Rifle my dad built with a Getz barrel, I was offered $2600 and wouldn't sell it.
I have a few black powder handguns. I like shooting my Uberti 1858 New Army, I keep 5 rounds loaded and capped in the house.
I've shot a few deer myself over the years, most with a Remmington 700 BDL I bought when I was 18.

So you want to ban the clips of the Ruger 10/.22 too? What's next?

Go to Camp Perry during the National Matches and tell those civillians that.

LOL! And I could bludgeon you over the head with the butt of my black powder revolver too. So what?

Mass murder of children by other kids. Maybe they should teach a little responsibility and respect instead of that CRT shit.

1) Note that the Republicans are using exactly the same logic to ban abortion, gay marriages, contraceptives and whatever else floats their boat.

2) I strongly disagree that exercising our unalienable rights should be based upon "need". Do the Usual Trolls on JPP "need" a computer? No they don't. Do protestors "need" to have groups larger than 100? No, they don't.

I have a Hawkins 50 cal and a Walker Colt that I shoot also.

Here’s a cool campaign add. I’d vote for this guy…

This is what we are dealing with. (Not me in the video) but it's why a AR 15 is the tool we need to prevent massive destruction to our crops.
