Someone mentions guns...doesn't matter the context...can be the shooting of clay pigeons.
Brian's chain is yanked and he bleats repeatedly...instead of baa...liberal use of um.
Someone, anyone, doesn't agree with Mr. Rational's emotional blather....Nazis, world wars, etc.
Zilla shows up to protect Big Bri's feels with stories of his super hero-dom as a chorus sings 'what about the children' in the background for more tug on emotions.
Nothing gets solved.
Thanks for mentioning the NRA.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
My chain is yanked, and yet we still have an average of 100 of our fellow citizens die from gun violence every single day.
I don't know what your priorities are, but sad if you think it is me. It would be way past sad if you were one of my priorities.

Here's the way it is ---
Just because you bleat out "you worship guns" - doesn't mean it's true. In fact - such pronouncements pretty much put everything else you say into serious question. If you just make shit up on the fly, and pronounce it as fact - nobody will much listen to you .
So - why do we own guns?
It's not for duck hunting. It's not for "sporting purposes" (whatever the fuck that is). It's not because we are some drooling maniac just waiting for the chance to kill someone.
It's because we pay attention.
....
You may think that it you pass a bunch of laws to get rid of guns, you're going to make the world all safe - nobody will die - gentle rains will fall, the sun will shine, the crops will flourish - and all the children will be happy, well fed, smart and good looking.
....
Sorry sunshine - this world doesn't work that way. At least not with the nasty bastards that inhabit the upper part of the food chain.
If history shows us anything -- and the way it keeps repeating itself (in new and interesting ways) - we can be assured that NO civilization lasts peacefully forever. You can bury your head in the sand and believe that the world is going to take care of you - and everything is going to be peachy. Reality? You stuck there with your head in the sand and your ass in the air makes a perfect opportunity for the world to slam you one in the ass.
You can call gun owners paranoid - but the fact is - being unarmed, and insisting on everyone being unarmed is simply a coward's admission to defeat. Will the gun owner prevail in all situations? Nope. But - he won't lose in every one either. The guy without a gun? When things get real ugly - he's going to wish he had one. Or he'll just curl up in a corner and wait for the end.
The gun owner is at least prepared to TRY.

Perhaps if you' re a dopey mental case. Reasonable people don' t have this problem.
Rifled barrels were also used for hunting. Smoothbores are crap at any real distance. The Americans used their riflemen effectively during the rebellion. Didn't have enough of them. Smoothbores, on the other hand, weren't worth aiming most of the time. The command was "level", not "aim" when the troops drilled with smoothbores.
And AR-15s are also routinely used for hunting. I expect to bag at LEAST 5 whitetails with my new 450 Bushmaster this year.
Gross.

Of all the use cases for an ar-15...hunting deer is pretty much the worst, lol. You may as well broadcast the fact that you're the worlds shittiest hunter.
You overpaid for a toy. Get a ruger you scrub.

MSRP on a Ruger AR in 450 Bushmaster is $1099. MSRP on a Ruger Number 1 in 450 Bushmaster is $1899. Both can be bought for less, but the single shot Number 1 is usually going to cost more than the AR.

I prefer to view it as cheap minds paying expensively.
