BilletHead Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Ok I have been biting my lip on this topic. I don't own an assault rifle. I own an AR and it is a sporting rifle. I assault no one. I have shot deer and coyotes with it. It is a tool just like any other tool. Please don't tell me I do not need it. We all have things we really don't need. Are you willing to give up things you like? Lets put a few things up here to see. First of all alcohol fatalities by motor vehicles. Read it here. Are you going to give up your vehicle or alcohol? 10,265 in 2015. 16% were children between 0 and 14 years old. https://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/impaired_driving/impaired-drv_factsheet.html In 2016 37,461 total vehicle deaths. Lets just not drive. Lets talk tobacco deaths. 480,000 deaths. What? Yep we don't need them at all. A large percentage of this number is from second hand smoke. Read it here, https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/health_effects/tobacco_related_mortality/index.htm Lets look at one more thing. A small percentage is from what you are calling Assault rifles. Many deaths here total and they are all needless. Read it here, https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/14/sunday-review/the-assault-weapon-myth.html I am not making light of what is happening here in our nation. It is sad and we need to stop it but taking the law abiding sane citizens is not the answer in my opinion. Chicago has the most strict gun laws in the nation. They are shooting each other right and left there, BilletHead JestersHK, fishinwrench, Deadstream and 3 others 5 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

JestersHK Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Likewise for those of you that have been through it and came out in the right side I am truly grateful. I'll continue to be prepared with the hopes I never have to use my tools or the training... I guess we'll agree to disagree. Johnsfolly 1

I pray for you that you never get to experience seeing someone shot, a gun in your face, almost being stabbed, or knowing a home invasion victim that was tied up and raped for two days. I wish I was as lucky as you to live that care free. Feel free to continue to mock me and the situation though. Speaks volumes of your character... I don't know if you're saying you've experienced those things first hand, or if you're just saying it happens. If you have, that's sure gonna affect how you look at things, and I'm gonna say a prayer for you! I have it on good authority that you're a pretty good dude, so that helps Johnsfolly, BilletHead and JestersHK 2 1 John
Deadstream Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Well, I'm afraid of Zombies. They hang out at boat ramps and riverbanks. You all have seen them, no teeth, rotten skin etc. Daryk Campbell Sr and BilletHead 1 1

After they are good and dried out and they have their limits the dried fish are put into buckets and toted two where zombies live. I assume as zombies do they eat fish brains and discard the rest. I hope they get charged with wanton waste for not utilizing all edible meat. We don't need to shoot them just see they end up in zombie jail. Bet this would be a good miniseries to air on some premium channel, BilletHead "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

fishinwrench Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Zombies are always sloooow and crippled acting. They never have firearms.....or eyes good enough to aim them. Just throw them a cat, or that science experiment from the back of your fridge, and carry on with your day. Kinda like ghosts. Everyone is scared of ghosts.... but a ghost has never hurt anyone. Have I ever told my flying bleach bottle poltergeist story on here ?
Deadstream Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 The thieving tweaking Zombies I run into never slow down. But I will try the science experiment idea.
