I already tried.
If you read my post, I was talking about my .50BMG, with AP ammo (have boxes of it), will seize your motor on the first shot.

Well, I like how this poll turned out.
Almost 70% said "anything you want". At least there is some hope.

Looking at exactly how people voted, I was not surprised at the results so far. Location location location. Those that voted for hunting rifles and shotguns only, were from areas that are fairly safe and yet heavily populated. Lots of suburb area, kind of rural. I was, however, really surprised at some of the middle ground votes that came from the Western States with very low population and yet a high percentage of gun owners and hunters. But, it's each individuals right to choose what they feel is right for their life. You didn't ask what people felt the nation should do as a whole, but more what an individual felt was right. It's turned out a real good discussion so far and is an outstanding poll.

very true, raufuss rounds tend to do that. not only would it destroy the nengine, but more than likely go through the entire vehicle.

I do wish that people would remember that the 2nd Amendment has nothing at all to do with sporting uses such as hunting, duck hunting or clay shooting. bur more if helping the civilian populace with keeping their goverment on the straight and narrow.

maybe if they understood this, then they would get tired of all the laws that keep the law abiding citizen from owning what they want for firearms.

Absolutely. Kicks like a mule, and the muzzle flash is nasty, (and wear both earplugs and earmuffs) but it does what is was designed to do. (Don't have anything on the bench, as it will go flying )

At 100 yards, it is like fish in a barrel. Woo Hoo!

This looks like a tough crowd. Why would anyone need anything more than a handgun or a hunting rifle?

Because I *CAN*.

Why would anyone need anything more than the same car as the neighbor?
Why would anyone need any other house than the same house their neighbor has.
Why would anyone need a different television than the neighbor.
A different stove, fridge, flavor of coffee, shirt, shoes, or even dinner?

Easy to answer.....

Because we *CAN*
