the fact that you exist is the demonstration, you dingbat farminator3000 Feb 2013 #58

Bears don't shoot back. X_Digger Feb 2013 #101

Look at the bag limits of the various animals. JVS Feb 2013 #24
Does than meant they'll be exempt from an AWB? aikoaiko Feb 2013 #7
the AWB lets people keep their guns, so farminator3000 Feb 2013 #43
I ask b/c you said "exempting subsistence hunters from gun control legislation" aikoaiko Feb 2013 #90
i'm not the OP, that was Robb, but here ya go- farminator3000 Feb 2013 #94
Sorry, I should have been paying attention to the OP and who was responding. aikoaiko Feb 2013 #96
Are you assuming most guns are confiscated in the near future? NickB79 Feb 2013 #11
I still think they should be included in any type of legislation. Arctic Dave Feb 2013 #28
Our family does not NEED to hunt Mojorabbit Feb 2013 #30
I voted that subsistence hunters are not a problem, but I have a question. 11 Bravo Feb 2013 #31
Being independent of others for a food source is a plus The Straight Story Feb 2013 #38
I say I would rather limit the type of arms then try to distinguish between people* jmg257 Feb 2013 #32
I lean the opposite way. If someone can't be trusted with an AR-15... Recursion Feb 2013 #55
Hmm...it seems the OP was about one group of people having access to a gun jmg257 Feb 2013 #62

Are we talking about single shot rifles for hunters shooting for food? Walk away Feb 2013 #56
So you want to turn back the clock by 150 years? Recursion Feb 2013 #74
Yes. I don't expect to get it but I might as well start from what I want. Walk away Feb 2013 #102
It's a tiresome NRA meme, at that: *I* own a 20 gauge shotgun, for crying out loud. apocalypsehow Feb 2013 #76
I am 100% in favor of subsistence hunting and fishing. Blue_In_AK Feb 2013 #78
