Well that's one way to save on ammo, I suppose.If it was a neighborhood like I lived in in South Austin and you shot a burglar and the bullet went through a wall into a neighbors house there was a good chance you'd hit another burglar.
First and only post in the Bear Pit - many will be glad
1. I love America, I love my guns, know how to use them, practice often, just not combat and believe in my 2nd amendment rights
2. There are probably some ex military or special forces on here and I thank you for serving - my cousin was a Marine based in Da Nang in the late 60's and my brother in law died 30 years later from Hep B from being a med evac pilot in the same place - I worship them
3. I should have known better than to post this topic here - it will be people like me that end up saving your second amendment rights through intelligent discourse, legal protection and compromise
4. I wonder how many of the haters on here have actually used their weapons to protect their life or anyone's - LE and Military excepted and I humbly thank you for serving society and our country -
5. The toys comment was a joke - obviously they are very serious business - I just have way more than I actually need hence the humor
6. For those that can read I was actually arguing for AR's by stating a pistol is more dangerous - and I never came close to suggesting banning handguns
7. I would be outraged if the government actually tried to take my AR's - is was only interesting to explore how they would compensate, as was said, the genie is out of the bottle and at this point a ban would only put them in the hands of the bad guys.
8. I assume none of you that hate posted objected to not selling guns to violent convicted criminals or crazy people - unless you are hiding something
9. All the incendiary and ignorant comments here were actually amusing - except the guy that posted the Rosa Parks comment - You - I would like to face you in the boxing ring without your gun to protect you.

Ahhhh I see someone went with the European talking pointsJust turn them in you don't want to be a criminal do you?
Oh and by the way if you give us a few of your neighbors names who are refusing to turn there's in, we will give you a stimulus check for each arrest that leads to a conviction.
Sir please don't make a fuss it's only for a short time please get on the train... you will be back soon. You don't want to be a criminal do you?
Just get on the train.
Many of us here have spent time in fun places...across multiple years and in various positions.I spent time in the Hindu Kush in remote Pakistan and also the tribal areas in 1993 - it was quite an experience.
I can't believe any 2nd A supporter and serious gunowner is still this naïve.3. I should have known better than to post this topic here - it will be people like me that end up saving your second amendment rights through intelligent discourse, legal protection and compromise

I firmly believe that an armed society to protect us from the government is a basic right created by the founding fathers - Again - I was only looking for the line and where it should be. Should everyone have a grenade launcher in the safe - for those on this post that think the Russians and Chinese are coming sure.
The ladies always love 10 inches.... you can tell you dont know about that though.The King Soopers tragedy hit close to home as it is 1 mile from my son's college apartment and he usually shops there on Monday's - fortunately he was with me that night - It got me thinking about my position on an A/R ban - I have several in addition to my bolt guns. I wonder what would happen to existing legal owners - I have heard the government would pay for the weapons if they ever took them away. It would be interesting if I they would pay what we all paid - which could be quite pricey, especially when you include the scope.
It also got me thinking about a solution to the problem - I have always argued that picking on AR's is stupid, as a common hand gun has about the same capacity, rate of fire and can fit in your pocket and is far more dangerous in most circumstances (except things like the Las Vegas Shooting) - meaning a crazy can not typically walk in a movie theater toting his 308 AR.
I think if I were going to address this problem I would limit sales of high mag anything to people that had any sort of violence convictions for a long time and maybe some day let them buy a deer rifle to hunt, lengthen the waiting period and increase the scrutiny on background checks. Also I have always been surprised that short barrel AR Pistols are legal - the Velcro thing on the butt stock is a joke and they are no different from a normal AR.
Again I love my shooting and hunting hobby, but the only use I can think of for a 10 in barrel 556 or 308 BO is urban warfare. (Maybe for hogs??)
I would think they are terrible home defense weapons as you will shoot through your walls and into your neighbors house -
Perhaps if you lived in Mogadishu or Darfur they would be handy to protect the family from roaming terrorists and genocidal maniacs but not here.
I have studied martial arts for years. You would be shocked at what weapons rest next to my bed, and is closer than my nearest gun.
....no you dont.....First and only post in the Bear Pit - many will be glad
1. I love America, I love my guns
you arent protecting shit by "compromising" it away....3. I should have known better than to post this topic here - it will be people like me that end up saving your second amendment rights through intelligent discourse, legal protection and compromise
you dont want to know the answer to that pal.....especially not on here.4. I wonder how many of the haters on here have actually used their weapons to protect their life or anyone's - LE and Military excepted and I humbly thank you for serving society and our country -
you would be "outraged"......but you are more than happy to "compromise" though....right?7. I would be outraged if the government actually tried to take my AR's - is was only interesting to explore how they would compensate, as was said, the genie is out of the bottle and at this point a ban would only put them in the hands of the bad guys.
define "crazy" people......are people who think they have a right to own weapons "crazy".......our current govt seems to think so.8. I assume none of you that hate posted objected to not selling guns to violent convicted criminals or crazy people - unless you are hiding something
you would 100% have your ass handed to you.9. All the incendiary and ignorant comments here were actually amusing - except the guy that posted the Rosa Parks comment - You - I would like to face you in the boxing ring without your gun to protect you.
You need to go suck start a shotgun, then at least you wouldn't be using an AR.......The King Soopers tragedy hit close to home as it is 1 mile from my son's college apartment and he usually shops there on Monday's - fortunately he was with me that night - It got me thinking about my position on an A/R ban - I have several in addition to my bolt guns.

The shooter VA Tech along with the massacre at fort hood were committed with pistols.....I actually was less than 100ft from the fort hood shooting......I wish I had my AR that day.I believe I was arguing for AR ownership, " I have always argued that picking on AR's is stupid" and against selling guns to mentally deranged people that have extreme violence convictions and questioning short barrel AR's purpose -
I absolutely do not want the government to come take my toys.
I really was not expecting this sort of response and had hoped for intelligent discourse among people that love shooting and hunting as much as I to a serious problem facing our great country. Darkfader and Super Corn Dogs - what part did you object to? Also, do you actually own a double barreled dildo bike and if so - how do you use it and what is it for?
And I refer you to New Zealand.Well, speaking as the son of someone who got fucked over by the 96’ confiscation of all things fun in Australia, all I’m going to say since I now live in the USA, “good fucking luck government”. Not in this country.
Reminds me of my Obama/Hillary supporting / Trump hating retired school teacher ex aunt by divorce who saw a pic of my ARs on my phone and said "Now see, I can understand target shooting but I don't understand why anyone should be allowed to own guns like that."my guns are not for "hunting".....they are not for "sporting use"...they are for killing terrorists, tyrants, and people who wish to do me harm....
so yes, i do NEED 30 round mags.......i do NEED 10.5" barrels......i do NEED Full auto.......i do NEED a fucking grenade launcher....
this response drives me up the fucking wall.Her response was "So You think you can stand up to the U.S. military?" I responded "So you think we are going to have to? You people think you have it all figured out don't you?"
"Compromise," to them, is to give you a jar of Vaseline before sticking it up your ass. When you run out of Vaseline, it is no longer "compromise."3.

We compromised enough in 68, then in 86 and then again in 94. Enough “compromise”.
No, Sell them to a Patriot.Just turn them in you don't want to be a criminal do you?

I agree on McVeigh and in fact questioned one of my non gun friends just this morning that we cannot outlaw fertilizer. I also almost bought an SBR in 6.8 SPC - I love that round - I would have gotten a 12 in barrel - I am just struggling with what is starting to be a common practice - mass shootings in America. - I would have used the 6.8 for pigs. Now I use the 16.5 barrel POF 6.8 instead.
If my post was actually read I was really only questioning SBR's as that was what I assume was used in the grocery store and can project massive firepower hidden under a jacket - although they never post whether it was that or the pistol. Ultimately the line has to be drawn somewhere - and I thank those that have given useful responses.
I have never posted in the Bearpit and I guess I am not surprised by some of the responses.

I would like to point out that my 13th amendment rights were clearly violated by my ex wife.
Would they be Swedes and Finns ?"I have hit an ELK at 275 yards on a full run though"

Thanks for the nice response
I never thought the shot was unethical but perhaps you are right - each one had all three shots we fired in them. We had been freezing for 4 days in 20 degrees from before dawn to after sunset - and these were the only animals we saw - our very experienced guide had us set up on a ridge and he chased them out of the dark timber -
Come to Tennessee and PM me when you get here. No boxing ring needed.
"You each put three shots in running animals, at the instruction of a very experienced guide." I feel about 99% sure this story is total bullshit. Most of your posts read like you have no idea what you are talking about.Thanks for the nice response

Am I incorrect in thinking an SBR is the same as an AR pistol

I dont want to come across as harsh but this line of thinking is asinine. Practically speaking, roughly the same amount of people are struck by lightning per year as are killed by rifles of any form. 25 times that amount of people die as a result from people getting shitfaced and driving and it registers pretty much a zero on society give a fuck meter. We all pretty much shrug our shoulders and say hey... what can you do?The King Soopers tragedy hit close to home as it is 1 mile from my son's college apartment and he usually shops there on Monday's - fortunately he was with me that night - It got me thinking about my position on an A/R ban - I have several in addition to my bolt guns.
