(4,274 posts)I am not anti hunting. I am not anti self defense. I am anti anybody trying to give me some line of crap that a single person needs 300 high powered rifles in order to hunt or defend themselves. I am also anti anybody trying to hide behind being a "collector" in order to justify their actions. You don't know from where I come from or the work I've done or do to this day and so I don't need a lecture about how a gun nut is the salt of the earth because he may work a hard job. I've known plenty of Billy Bobs in my long years and there is a difference between them and a guy who has a deer rifle, a shotgun or two for birds and a handgun with a standard clip for personal protection. Our mass shootings are not taking place with just a deer rifle, a shotgun or a single handgun with a standard clip. They are happening with AR-15 type weapons that Billy Bob has a fetish for and can't wait to have his pals over to his "gun room" to show off all the ones he has, the modifications he has to make them even more deadly etc. It's a sure bet he's not going to shoot deer or ducks with them.
You may think some stump ignorant redneck keeps this country moving but I think they hold the country back and also hold it hostage. No I don't like the Billy Bob type and they are not to be confused with others who live in his neighborhood who don't have a gun and killing fetish and all kinds of bumper stickers about their cold dead fingers and posters of people they don't like with target circles on them hanging up in their "gun room".
