k3, are you against the use of guns for killing animals?

― rusty flathead screwdriver, Thursday, December 1, 2011 4:00 PM

sort of? i don't think just anybody should have the right to shoot a deer or a rabbit or something they're not going to eat themselves. bear in mind private ownership of any kinds of guns should be illegal - if hunting is necessary for food or population control or whatever the government could employ people to do this

k3vin k., Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:09 (twelve years ago) link

hahahaha good luck with that

OH NOES, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link

I gotta say, there are like a dozen reasons why you should secure your guns when you're not using them, but I think that unsecured firearms and intoxicants would be a situation I would excuse myself from or like, be upfront and ask the dude to stow them.

rusty flathead screwdriver, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link

well yeah duh xp

k3vin k., Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:12 (twelve years ago) link

Just to be clear population control is not an if thing wrt many game animals (looking at you insane amount of deer) but an absolute, thx to historical slaughter of predators.

Do not hunt myself, but that's just factual.

xps where's the fun in being rational -- talk about a gun car!

Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:16 (twelve years ago) link

why the fuck should the government hire people to control the deer population instead of hunters doing it themselves?

superb mario bothers (crüt) (step hen faps), Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:17 (twelve years ago) link

that unsecured firearms and intoxicants

If nothing else, guns and weed would tend to make me paranoid

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link

Also I think you could make a pretty dece argument for the positive eco aspects of people obtaining their meat from self-sustaining things like deer populations.

PROVEN BY BOOZE SCIENCE, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link

well it'd be hard for them to do it without guns, which they can't own

lol

xxp

For better or for worse, that is something that will never happen in the US.

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:19 (twelve years ago) link

I feel like automatic crossbows fall under the "gun" umbrella

superb mario bothers (crüt) (step hen faps), Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:21 (twelve years ago) link

Pretty sure most of those are not 'automatic'

not in our lifetimes for sure, sucks i know

k3vin k., Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link

sorry I just meant "crossbows"

I don't actually know anything about crossbows, or guns

superb mario bothers (crüt) (step hen faps), Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link

Though I am glad Innocent II sucessfully banned the crossbow in 1139.

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:23 (twelve years ago) link

They're not crossbows either, actually

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:23 (twelve years ago) link

arrow cocked + ready amirite

superb mario bothers (crüt) (step hen faps), Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:26 (twelve years ago) link

I'm sorry, there's a bow in that picture?

OH NOES, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:26 (twelve years ago) link

itt: things that should be illegal

Brad C., Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:27 (twelve years ago) link

I think I have that exact bow.

milo z, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link

D, I just figured more ppl would give that bow a good looking over

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link

guys I think 'gun etiquette' doesn't really roll off the tongue; how about we say 'guntiquette' you know just so we can save some time

dayo, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:29 (twelve years ago) link

Hartford, Gunetiquette

superb mario bothers (crüt) (step hen faps), Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:30 (twelve years ago) link

"gun etiquette" and "guntiquette" are two decidedly different things

one is a set of agreed-upon social mores for dealing with firearms, and one is a set of agreed-upon social moress for dealing with a butt in the front

OH NOES, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:31 (twelve years ago) link

Have we come to frontbottom so soon?

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:32 (twelve years ago) link

k3v are you a veg/vegan

― dayo, Thursday, December 1, 2011 4:25 PM (2 minutes ago)

no - ftr i'm not opposed to eating meat on principle and i don't think killing animals for food is wrong, but i am morally opposed to factory farming. i am trying to reduce the amount of meat i eat but i was a picky eater when i was younger and it's a process - i hope to be a veg in a couple years or so

k3vin k., Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:33 (twelve years ago) link

fyi they dont kill the animals with guns in factory farming

PROVEN BY BOOZE SCIENCE, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:34 (twelve years ago) link

of course not, anyone with sense would go for the unarmed ones

OH NOES, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:35 (twelve years ago) link

Not a traditional Amazon, I see.

k3vin this thread is about gun etiquette not gun control.

imo apologizing is good enough, dude wasn't expecting you as you said.

well it was kind of a silly thread and we couldn't resist a little trolling on the subject, it's been too long

I keep seeing this as the proper thing to do after you've shot someone for dropping in.

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:42 (twelve years ago) link

But it's pretty hilarious to be opposed to hunting since that's a far more natural life for most of the animals involved than even sustainable grassfed beef or w/e.

milo z, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:43 (twelve years ago) link

My moralism wrt hunting tends to have more to do with the state of mind of the hunter than with the fact that he's hunting

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:50 (twelve years ago) link

I don't hunt, and I know too many people who just set up near a feeder - but otoh all of them eat the venison. Most even eat wild boar when they hunt that.

milo z, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:52 (twelve years ago) link

I love wild boar, too. I love game, basically.

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 21:54 (twelve years ago) link

so guys did you solve guns yet

river wolf, Thursday, 1 December 2011 22:26 (twelve years ago) link

Etiquette requires that you shake hands with a shotgun, bow for a pistol, kneel to a rifle, curtsy to a cannon, kowtow to a blunderbuss and bow and scrape to a machine gun.

M. White, Thursday, 1 December 2011 22:30 (twelve years ago) link

The guns are at the left of the plate. People get confused about which to use first, but just work from outside in (left to right). There may be an oyster gun on the right but it's much smaller than the others and easy to tell apart.

sorry, didn't see this revive when I started new thread

William (C), Thursday, 8 December 2011 18:48 (twelve years ago) link

it's okay I was being trolly when I bumped this one

iatee, Thursday, 8 December 2011 18:49 (twelve years ago) link

do i curtsy before or after pulling the trigger
