27. Every time someone comes up with a logical argument about your guns

Jan 2017

you all come out and gang up on them. For your information I have owned, hunted and shot guns all my life maybe more than you.
I was in the Army and qualified Expert with both the M14 and M16 back in the day. I happen to live in Ohio and some may consider me Bubba, I am looking out my window at a herd of beef cattle across the road. I know lots of gun owners and like with anything else there are those that are responsible gun owners and then there are the ones that shouldn't carry a butter knife. The op claims to be an example of why everyone needs a AR-15. The guy had an AR-15 available but he used what is basically a hunting rifle instead. Yes he could have used the AR-15 but he used what he knew was the best weapon. Now if there were 15 intruders in the neighbors house which would be kind of unlikely an AR-15 may have been a better choice. Yea an AR-15 can shoot 1 round but from my experience shooting you give a guy a semi-auto with a 30 round magazine he empties the 30 round magazine in a few seconds. I went hunting with a guy several years ago that had a semi-auto 30 06 rifle. I am standing watching for deer and all of a sudden someone starts shooting
and I see a deer coming over the hill and I still hear shooting. For fear of getting shot myself I dove behind a log. A minute later here comes this yahoo and says did you see that deer, I said yea I was behind that log at the time. The simple MF shot 17 rounds at that deer. Needless to say I never went in the woods again with that Bubba. I live here in the rust belt and let me tell you for the most part
the people that voted for Trump are racist assholes. I will no longer participate in your ridiculous straw-man argument good bye.

Actually, everyone should have an M-16. HassleCat Jan 2017 #1
