Another school shooting

the "more guns would be safer" crowd just really bothers me to no end.

They make me want to own a gun honestly. It's a weird thing.

Would not recommend.

i don't think emo's point is crazy fwiw.  it's not really fair for politicians to protect themselves with armed guards and then tell the general public that they don't have a right to the same protection.

what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and so forth.

i think that is a ridiculous comparison. every celebrity / politician is under a threat that most people are not. for example, four sitting presidents have been assassinated, at least 20 attempts have been made, and every single president has received death threats (real or not).

You've reached a logical deadend you don't like, just like michigancat did with the charging people to exercise their rights remark. You should now understand why you are wrong and why you've lost.

This means you haven't fully thought the issue through, either because of laziness or lack of cognitive ability.

It's because the logic does not reach a conclusion in line with feelings caused by emotions not tied to facts.  It's not uncommon.  Lots of people feel strongly about something from an emotional standpoint, and then try to put together some logic to justify it.

We should encourage them to think harder. Make the pit less pit-y

as long as police have guns, citizens should have guns.  you want to compromise, disarm the cops and we've got a deal.

Uh no we still need guns to go hunting bro.  Many states have a right to hunt amendment on the books.

on principle, i probably couldn't agree to it.  but as a practical matter, i'd definitely make the deal.

[wetwillie]

No one needs to go hunting.

There are absolutely some people that need to go hunting.

must hunt with guns, right?

it's a lot easier.

I have multiple subcontractors that shoot/reel in 90% of all meat their family eats.  They like it, but are also in a low earnings sitch.  They keep themselves there, but again, they claim to like it.

Hunted meat is far less economical than clipping coupons and shopping at aldi or something similar.

that really depends a great deal on how you hunt.  when i used to hunt frequently, my hunted meat was pretty close to free.

Like a specific name?  Chip Hailstone needs to go hunting.

If Emo couldn't kill animals he'd likely turn to killing humans to satisfy his bloodlust

That isn't always the case.  A resident elk tag might be ~$50 for 300 pounds of the very best quality meat (no hormones, no steroids, no anti-biotics, etc). 

[sonofdaxjones]

Yes, one would definitely have to factor ease of access to huntable lands/fishable waters, distance from home, financial components of gun purchase/maintenance/ammo/fishing supplies, fossil fuels expanded, licensing expenditures etc. etc.   Only under certain circumstances could I see hunting/fishing being a viable and economical model for subsistence relative to the availability of food as it relates to modern society in the year of our Flying Spaghetti Monster 2015.

It's probably just more an excuse to get out of the house.   One could reasonably discuss the potential health benefits of a hunting/fishing based diet if cooking methodologies are included.

one of the guys lives in a mostly rural area and shoots a ridiculous amount of deer right out of his back acreage.  It's basically just the cost of his time and a couple bullets or arrows. 

His property, he doesn't tag most of them(illegal, i know), and he cleans/butchers them himself.
