Not good for hunting

30-30 is DEVASTATING to a hog. 5.56 in 1 ear out the other.
7.62x39 out to 100 yards clean through the shoulder and into the heart. Where as the 30-30 would destroy the shoulder, fragment and might hit the heart.

What about 3 gun competitions that I and many others compete in?

You want to shut down an industry that employs 1000s to suit your feeble desire?

I have a better idea.

How about we purge California of republicans, Let California break off become it's own country and let all those who hate freedom and want government paid health insurance and college move there? Send all liberals to California and let it be it's own country.
If you want to do something like that... then, here's an idea you might like, why not move all republicans to some remote island, and give them all the guns they want.... let's see how many are still standing after about 6 mon.

I don't know how many times I have to say this... basic tools make a basic forge and with household chemicals and metals one could build everything that's available and more.

What you propose only tests ingenuity.
Good luck on banning knowledge and banning scrap metals.
So why don't more criminals make bombs then, if this all so easy?

Guns are easier but if push really comes to shove explosives are not hard to produce, you have most of it under your kitchen sink and in your garage. Don't rush it, on our current pace that will come soon enough.

Nobody will listen to us though. They're brainwashed into thinking the government is so awesome.
Yet...

Trump=Hitler.
Turn in your guns there are police officers.
Yet.
Police officers are trigger happy racist and just thugs with badges...

Such interesting times to be alive.
We aren't any more, we can thank God for that. I think we should both change our monikers. I really don't want anything to do with that God awful state. I'm now a proud Arizonan.

New York's not the place for us. Besides Cuomo "I'll Duce" declared that we are not welcome there. Good riddance there Andy we sure as hell don't mss the likes of you and thee most corrupt legislature in the country. You even had the gall to name the new Tappan Zee Bridge after your low life father. Arrogance runs deep in the Cuomo clan.

We sure do have first hand experience of how corrupt government is. New York's got it in spades.

OK so how should we deal with mental illness? Btw this is only half the problem, you then have the gangland shooting issue to deal with.
