I treat anything coming from them as I treat anything coming from the NRA, pure disbelief.

This seems to violate the GD SOP Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #1

Aw did the OP give you a sadz? Rex Feb 2015 #121

nope Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #122

I understand, it is impossible for you to admit to being wrong Rex Feb 2015 #129

Non Sequiter is a cartoon that appears in the daily funnies, ducks. Hekate Feb 2015 #189

yes, and post about guns, even a cartoon Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #190

I read Wiley's cartoons every day; this is just an offhand comment for him, not a theme. Hekate Feb 2015 #193

Does the SOP or Skinners's Guidance say anything about a "theme"? Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #194

I don't know who you think are "controllers," but this has obviously hit a nerve Hekate Feb 2015 #196

nope Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #198

I use an AR-15 chambered in 6.8 Rem SPC to hunt wild hogs year round here. Arcadiasix Feb 2015 #2

does not matter to the controllers Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #9

If you are just interested in hunting game, why use a rifle like this? Hoyt Feb 2015 #40

The AR platform is Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #49

Like I said, the guns aren't manufactured, marketed, or bought because game hunters like them. Hoyt Feb 2015 #55

I do not hunt Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #60

the manufacturers make them for hunting. / they are well liked. BlancheSplanchnik Feb 2015 #215

I used a plasma rifle with night vision scope to hunt squirrels last week. Rex Feb 2015 #123

I can't wait until Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #130

Why do you hunt squirrels? Vattel Feb 2015 #166

In some places they're considered vermin. Pioneers used to eat them as small game in pies and stews. Hekate Feb 2015 #192

I hunt squirrels and eat them belcffub Feb 2015 #209

Pecan fed squirrel with German egg dumplings makes a fine meal. oneshooter Feb 2015 #210

Actually, .223 is one of the more popular rounds for those who hunt for the meat. Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2015 #3

correct, but I bet it is not Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #8

Mine is. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #220

No - it is not jpak Feb 2015 #51

great caliber for Varmint hunting Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #58

.243 is a varmint round - .233 is a human killer jpak Feb 2015 #64

and your source for this is? Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #69

.223 is the standard US & NATO military assault rifle round - designed to kill humans jpak Feb 2015 #79

Shows what you don't know. GGJohn Feb 2015 #83

Really? All fucking military rounds have a fucking caliber jpak Feb 2015 #86

Once again, your ignorance of military rounds is showing, GGJohn Feb 2015 #88

Do you know what metric a caliber represents? Nope jpak Feb 2015 #89

Caliper? GGJohn Feb 2015 #90

You can use a caliper to measure the caliber of a NATO 5.56x45 round jpak Feb 2015 #100

No shit. GGJohn Feb 2015 #102

Excuse my ignorance one again but if I recall cstanleytech Feb 2015 #91

You know, that's a really good question, GGJohn Feb 2015 #92

yes, hollow points and expanding ammo Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #95

Thanks!!! GGJohn Feb 2015 #99

The glasshouses Feb 2015 #98

It is authorized to use glasshouses Feb 2015 #113

.223 can be used Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #115

I'm referring to BTHP glasshouses Feb 2015 #124

That's correct. krispos42 Feb 2015 #229

Actually the .223 is not the US & NATO round. Hangingon Feb 2015 #84

nope, you are quite wrong Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #85

I fully admit my knowledge on firearms is lacking but wouldnt it depend on what cstanleytech Feb 2015 #70

You are very correct Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #71

You're absolutely correct. GGJohn Feb 2015 #73

Or is its a human saver round....take for instance my AR15 ileus Feb 2015 #200

A search of the term "223 hunting round" says otherwise. Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2015 #67

The .223 is a great caliber for hunting medium sized game, GGJohn Feb 2015 #68

Yup Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #74

Preferred round of the IDF for shooting rock throwing kids - must be "medium sized game." leveymg Feb 2015 #182

I wouldn't know, GGJohn Feb 2015 #184

This is not a .223 or 5.55x45 round. Hangingon Feb 2015 #240

So where all of those other Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #72

The calibers you listed are a dying breed NickB79 Feb 2015 #128

Do you really not know what the .30-.30, .30-06, and .308 were developed for? aikoaiko Feb 2015 #213

Wrong on every single count. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #221

Wait, you're saying a .223 isn't powerful enough for hunting game? NickB79 Feb 2015 #241

"Sportsman." Now there's a loaded term. 99Forever Feb 2015 #4

yes much better to let Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #6

Hmmm, we hunt for our food, never considered ourselves "badass hunters". eom. GGJohn Feb 2015 #10

What does the year 1850 have to do with hunting? GGJohn Feb 2015 #15

wow, nice person Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #17

Yeah, that one is a particularly hateful person towards firearms owners. eom. GGJohn Feb 2015 #20

there are a few, I agree Duckhunter935 Feb 2015 #27

Seriously. That would even rule out my Savage 1889. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #222

For someone who... 99Forever Feb 2015 #22

Not angry, just amused that you would think I'm trying to sell you something. GGJohn Feb 2015 #24

Yeah, I'm suuuure you do. GGJohn Feb 2015 #29

No, I believe you have zero clues Shamash Feb 2015 #45

It's more cowardly than buying a 10# bag of ground animal at Costco? lumberjack_jeff Feb 2015 #107

Oh please. 99Forever Feb 2015 #120

In my experience, those who hunt are more likely to have thought these issues through. lumberjack_jeff Feb 2015 #136

They try to kill the toughest old buck to get the bragging rights. It removes the best from the rhett o rick Feb 2015 #219

Naw, just rageingly amused at comments like this one. GGJohn Feb 2015 #143

Nonsense this has nothing to do with hunting for food. Thank you for providing Rex Feb 2015 #144

Your food bank takes wild game? lumberjack_jeff Feb 2015 #109

Yes, as long as it's processed by a licensed butcher shop. GGJohn Feb 2015 #110

In NY they allow you to donate the meat at all processing places belcffub Feb 2015 #212

Funny thing is that according to the FBI, GGJohn Feb 2015 #245

suicide is still a gun death samsingh Feb 2015 #246

The VPC is saying that more guns equals more deaths, GGJohn Feb 2015 #247

there is absolutely no way that more guns = less deaths samsingh Feb 2015 #248
