NSR: A gun on Every Corner: Discuss the NRA, Gun Ownership and All Those Non-Mass Shootings..

Not to thread drift, but if you're going to Disney expect strollers and kids having meltdowns every 5 ft. The single strollers didn't bother me. It was all the twin strollers that clogged up every walking area. And you could tell that the family thought they were being clever even though they had one kid. Unfortunately half of Disney is not equipped for twin strollers.

 

I know people here disapprove of these type of stories, but hey.

One of my first trips to Disneyland LA was planned yet was still a surprise.
I never planned on Cinco de Mayo

 

I wonder if they'd be willing to sell that Winchester Model 12 in the picture...

My son needs a shotgun

 

I dunno... There are thousands of firearms turned in during buyback programs in the US. Granted, they don't happen fairly frequently.. If the US were to do a national level buy back, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of guns turned in would dwarf the 26k the Australians turned in. Of course, the difference here is that in Australia they can't go back out and buy a replacement gun like they can in the US...

 

"needs" a shotgun?
For what purpose does he "need" a shotgun?

 

At a guess, pheasant, quail, wild turkey, ducks, geese.

Doesn't work for buffalo, though...

 

See below

Yes, along with blue rock

Too wet / Too cold
Rifle for deer / elk.

A slug might work, from a 10 GA, close range, last resort, but you'd probably just piss it off and hit it in the non-vitals

 

I'll let you go first on that, beings as you are closer to nature and nobler and all...

 

So, there is a "need" to kill birds with a shotgun?

Is that a "want" or a "need"?

 

I feel no need to hunt bison. People should fear me winning the lottery, I would buy up a couple of million acres of Western Nebraska, Kansas & Oklahoma, put wind turbines on it and let it go wild as a natural recharge area for the Ogalalla Aquifer let Bison migrate from one end to the other.

Both.

 

Now there's a noble idea!

 

I know, right

There's a lot of people around here that fish out of park ponds and detention ponds. A lot of my high dollar fisherman friends wouldn't be bothered by that, because for them, it's all about getting out in the bass boat and away from the Mrs. for a few hours (hardly seems worth the effort). The latter group, it's recreation, the former group, it's dinner two nights a week.

Well, it is fun

 

Are you questioning the need to have meat on a plate, or are you questioning the need for this particular method of putting meat on a plate?

 

How many more people do you figure we'd need to do something similar to put the future of the Ogallala Aquifer on sound footing?
