Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?
And even for hunting, there are types that make a semi more useful. I certainly would prefer one for feral pig control, having been attacked by boars before. Also the lighter recoil is one of the reasons they are very popular for women, smaller men, and younger adults.Comment

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?
Steve there is along standing wild boar argument thats pretty lame. But the #1 reason is “I LIKE HIGH CAPACITY SEMI AUTO GUNS” I get that you like something and you don’t want it taken away. Granted its not the best argument but it’s all they have.
EDITED TO ADD: I called the Pig argument while I was composing my post Decourcy proved my point, thank you Decourcy
Also edited to add: “ very popular for ………, smaller men, and younger adults” like
Columbine High School massacre: 18-year-old Eric Harris and 17-year-old Dylan Klebold, students at Columbine High School, killed 12 students and one teacher.
15-year-old student Thomas "T.J." Solomon Jr. wounded six students at Heritage High School. A 15-year-old girl was hospitalized in critical condition,
13-year-old Victor Cordova Jr. fatally shot 13-year-old Deming Middle School schoolmate Araceli Tena. Cordova said he had intended to commit suicide but was jostled by others and his gun moved.He could not be charged as an adult as he was under 14, so he received the maximum sentence for a juvenile: a minimum of two years in prison, with a maximum of being held until his 21st birthday. In December 2003, he was released to his aunt and uncle to live with them in Colorado.
13-year-old Seth Trickey opened fire in the courtyard of his middle school using a gun brought from home. While there were no fatalities, several students felt sparks
from the bullets hitting the building walls. Five were injured, including a girl who was shot in the face. He was tried as a juvenile and released in March 2005.
Shooting of Kayla Rolland: At Buell Elementary School, a 6-year-old boy fatally shot 6-year-old classmate Kayla Rolland. To date, the boy is the youngest documented
fatal school shooter
13-year-old honor student, Nathaniel Brazill was sent home for throwing water balloons, but returned to his Lake Worth Middle School with a family pistol.
He fatally shot teacher Barry Grunow, who was popular at the school
LOTS and LOTS more here

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?
Enlighten me…. Hunting, sport shooting at a range, varmit control on a farm. Other than killing people what other use is there and why would you need a semi automatic or more than 3 bullets in the magazine? I don’t agree with the Total ban on civilian hand gun use. I think one should be able to buy or rent a handgun at a range facility, sport shoot with it there, and it never leaves the range.

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?
No, as has been explained many times before. Hunting is less than 50% of firearms owners in Canada, and decreasing. Most only target shoot at ranges.
And even for hunting, there are types that make a semi more useful. I certainly would prefer one for feral pig control, having been attacked by boars before. Also the lighter recoil is one of the reasons they are very popular for women, smaller men, and younger adults.Stay calm, be brave....wait for the signs. Possibly precariously prevaricating.

More popular than living relatives or school kids?
Kudos to Canadians for being less murderous and homicidal than US Citizens. If your gun fatality rate were as high, would you still be supporting unregulated gun ownership?It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?
That would be a good thing. Read the statistics and think about why they are so low.
BTW I belong to a fishing and wild fowling association. My companies sport club has a pistol shooting range on its premises, a colleague belonged to a rifle shooting club with a range in the outskirts of the town. There will be gamekeepers and farmers with shotgun and rifle licences used for managing deer herds and game shooting. Our laws do not prevent shooting where appropriate.It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Re: Biden going after semi-automatics?
The same argument applies about target shooting at ranges, Long guns with three round magazines or air pistols are still legal for target shooting. Semi autos are unnecessary.

You obviously have zero understanding of our laws to call what I support “unregulated”.
Please refer to my post above this
Until 1996 full auto were legal here. Number of shootings? Zero. The guns aren’t what make us different than the US and to suggest it is is blissful ignoranceLast edited by Decourcy; 11-25-2022, 03:52 PM.Comment

"Guns don't kill people, people (with guns) kill people".
If the people cannot be trusted with guns, remove the guns that kill people. That in effect is what we did after Dunblane and Hungerford.It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.
