Tongue in cheek or not, your logic is only sound if this was a 1-time event, or repeated events with the same foundational framework. In most of these mass shooter school cases, being attached to a "fringe group" isn't even a component....I provided that info in response to your question as to...
Neffa, if you are calling me out without actually calling me out, I'd prefer to be taken in the context of my comment. I said it was hypocritical and delusional thinking to suggest that it isn't the guns fault while at the same time blaming it on other objects like video games/music and movies...
Its been reported that he was part of, and received some kind of training from a White Nationalist movement in Florida. Though how a kid gets to accumulate these weapons and spend time training with a bunch of militia wannabes is beyond me.
That's my point. Using these kids death as a political chip by both R's and D's doesn't do them or the future of hunting any good. Actual discussion and compromise might. Though it leaves a small bit of vomit in my mouth to think that some kind of regulation that results in the death of less...
Maybe to strong worded, but my point is that this binary current of "if not this-than must be that" going through the national dialogue does us all a disservice. Everyone here knows its not one thing that is to blame for this, yet that is always the direction so many people turn. we would rather...
Yes, in this case I would say that's exactly what you are being. I can sit and stare all day at violent movies, play video games and sing my favorite song ever about a career criminal who "shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" and just like you with your hobby of gun staring, not go out and...
The echo chamber on this board and across the web of "guns are just a tool, they don't kill anyone" while in the same breath saying "I mean just look at these video games/movies/music" as the reasoning is self delusional hypocrisy at its finest.
Essentially, it CANT be the fault of this metal...
I suggest everyone read this book. its fascinating. While I don't put as much stock into "The video games/music/movies made me do it" these events do point to a cultural " desenthesization" of some kind, specifically middle class, white males...
When I'm trying to find Hunters who at least can convince others they know what the hell they're talking about, i turn to Hunt Talk. I'm looking for someone who works with wild turkeys, a biologist, call maker, conservationist Etc. Someone who might be willing to share a conversation for an...
This is all great info. I've narrowed my unit down to the one mentioned here as well as a General Unit in the NW corner of the Bighorns. Should be able to draw a Type 1 tag with my 3pts in the Special Draw.
As one who was more than critical on the news that Cam Hanes was offered a seat at the table, I felt it was only fair to share this as well. Now we all have the opportunity to stand up for hunting, and be put under the microscope of know-it-all hunting forums.
I'm sure the folks on this Forum...
Looking at my previous comment maybe I was a bit harsh. Cam does inspire a lot of people both in and out of the hunting world and that makes for a great bridge. God knows he's a extremely accomplished Hunter and maybe this position is totally a symbolic one only. That said, i think some of...
I want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt but frankly after his softball interview with that slimball Chaffetz last year and the man crushes he seems to have on Trump and Trump jr., and celebrity in general, im not exactly enthusiastic. The fact of the matter is a guy of his age, who's...
all good advice. I would focus on taking hikes wherever you can with a pack. start at 25 pounds, work up to 50. I would also focus on body weight squats.
After taking a LONG break from dedicated exercise, I did this routine at home and it did wonders. Not saying its the be-all-end-all, but a...
Well, no one works there as it hasn't been opened yet. You might want to have some of those simple facts straight. If it does open, the money will flow out of Minnesota and into the hands of Chilean millionaires. You want that? As a Minnesotan, I don't.
Besides using mined materials, most of us...
