(3,160 posts)Out in the sticks. I farm the 20 acres that i have. Its a wonderful place to live, but it has it's risks. There are three problems with living out here:
Feral Hogs
Rattlesnakes
white people spun up on meth
I've had contact with all three out here on my place, and unfortunately, it's required a gun every time. I'm too far out for the sheriff to show up in a timely manner. These things require you to take matters into your own hands.
I have a few old bolt actions and a shot gun. It would be hard to safely survive out here without them.
However, nobody needs to own an AR-15, an AK-47, or a SKS. I have never needed a high capacity magazine for anything. One bullet is all you need for a hog that's pissed off and coming for you (it's happened more than once to me). Any reason trying to justify owning one of these above mentioned rifles or high capacity magazines is pure bullshit.
My Dad fought in Vietnam during the 1968 Tet Offensive, seeing some of the worst gun violence and brutality anyone could have imagined. Dad raised my brother and i to use guns for a tool and nothing else. He always explained to us that it's not like the movies: anyone who is injured from a bullet wound is forcibly ripped apart. My Dad would simply say "you dont want to see the things i've seen"
Having someone show up at your house clearly spun up on meth at 2AM, that you've never seen before in your life, trying to enter your home is not fun. To be more precise it's fucking terrifying.
Absolute strict regulation of the 2A is needed, not eradication
