single shot period. [View all]

Who the fuck cares what hunters prefer? Single shot is way more "sportsman" anyway. If it saves us from horror, hunters should be happy to use single shot bolt action guns. If they're not, fuck them. It's a goddamn sport. Let them whine and show what babies they are. We should accept a horribly violent society because hunters want to blast the shit out of as many poor creatures as their animal assault weapon can kill?

Fuck them!

For all the hunters who want to describe why you need more, fuck you in advance.
