Most semi-auto firearms ARE used by hunters. Your point?

yeah I have no ideas what that poster's point is. AR-15 is a hunting rifle and many people used it as a hunting rifle.

Some like to use Timber Classic Marlin 336C, some choose AR-15 I see no differences.

It is time for gun owners to walk in to business's that are becoming victims of the anti gun machine and bowing to the pressure with cash in their hands.
They could walk into Dick's and others looking to buy what they banned and when they are told that they no longer sell guns like that the buyer could say "I'm sorry to hear that I will have to take my business elsewhere".


It is not only the guns and ammo that people buy but it is all the extra stuff that goes along with that gun purchase like a safe, cleaning supplies, carry boxes/bags, targets, add ons like scopes and if they are going hunting there is literally thousands of dollars at stake.

What a sad day for the country when the shooting sports are in jeopardy because people that don't consider the good and only see the bad that come from guns are making the most noise to ban them.

Are you guys boycotting Pizza Hut now? They are now the official pizza of the NFL.

Just want to keep the proper list of where I'm not going to find conservatives anymore.

What reasonable small action? Which of the 20k laws currently on the books would have stopped any shooting?
You will never get an answer because everyone knows gun bans/control laws don't work, especially not in the US with its porous Southern border. Criminals don't obey laws. Disarming law-abiding citizens and painting bull's eye targets on even MORE people's soft target backs will only make things worse.

Here's the true relationship between gun ownership and gun-related crime:

As the gun ownership rate increased by 50%, the gun homicide rate DECREASED by 50%, and the nonfatal violent gun crimes rate DECREASED by 76%.

Vote with your pocketbook. It is the free market way.

Doncha think Dick's figure a boycott from gun humpers into their sales?

The overwhelming majority of the AR_15 owners choose it because

Light, accurate, relatively cheap, and modular. It is easy to use, even for a woman. I doubt they want to gun down people by the dozens.
