(14,912 posts)confiscation, but I see no need for someone to to be deer hunting with an AK-47 with a 30 round magazine either. I don't believe you need a bazooka or a gatling gun for hunting either. I believe in "one shot, one kill", which means you have a clean, clear shot on what you're hunting, and you put it down with the minimal amount of suffering to the animal. You also eat what you shoot. I have found deer where someone shot it and just cut the head off, or even just the skull plate with antlers, and left the meat to rot. I find that despicable, and would turn someone in if I caught them doing it. I've turned in spot-lighters and poachers before, and have no qualms about doing it again.
As for your "emotion based" comment, you have to take into account that it is also FACT based. There are plenty of instances where a homeowner with a weapon has saved his/her family from certain death at the hands of armed home invaders. It's the reality of the world we live in today.
Now *please* point out where, exactly, that my post says I am anti gun control, or apologize and admit you were wrong.
Just because I refuse to let myself or my family be victims, and I support the 2nd Amendment, doesn't mean I don't support gun control measures, does it?
