ONE of the most popular and oldest cartridge for this rifle is the 308 Winchester. The mention of a 223 is pointless.
AGAIN......the PURPOSE of this rifle is RAPID FIRE capabilities. I don't give a rat's patoot about the fact that a few SLOW cartridges shooting big fat NOT capable of long range AND not "frangible" bullets are included being even more so going slower and don't tell me this "isn't true" Ive fired several clips out of a 458 SOCOM. Bullets bounce around quite nicely TYVM.......and as fast as I could pull the trigger. Safe my BUTT, the worst of all the worst traits a cartridge could have in the woods.
A 308, 6.5 Creedmoor or others (many others) in a 15 round OR MORE rifle built FOR rapid fire required during defense IS NOT a sporting firearm, regardless if they "camo" it or not.
It's not even ABOUT what YOU want or what I WANT..........
Go TALK TO LOCALS THAT OWN LAND AND OTHERS THAT DO NOT HUNT.
NOT
ONE
SINGLE
PERSON
Ive talked to feels such belongs in the fields they own or live by.
Not landowers
Not local parents
Not even local FFL DEALERS ( three so far)
We can hiss and snarl about "safety" and "effectiveness" and "NEED" and never agree but you'll talk yourself blue in the face to think the general public isn't going to raise holy H OR think it wont KILL the opportunity to hunt even MORE hunting areas...........forever dead, never even hunted again.
If ANYONE thinks "opinion" is a REASON to allow something because they "want it", Go ask the general public.
Being still a democratic society MAJORITY SHOULD RULE and the number of people that even say that they "don't care" one way or another is going to be a mere PART of a percentage point.
But go ahead. Quote all your facts that such is "right" and "safe" and " I want, I want, I want"
The only person that will agree with you is others who want what they want and screw the general public and what the OPINION THEY HAVE of hunting in general is turning into.
NO LONGER does the average hunter CARE if the sport is viewed negatively.
"It's legal"......nothing else matters!!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SPORTSMEN THAT MADE UP THIS SPORT NOT SO MANY DECADES AGO? PEOPLE WHO CARED what others thought?
Go ahead, be yet another reason the general public wishes hunting was banned all together and another reason IT WILL BE in your grandchild's lifetime.
Go ahead........have at it. Im done discussing something that is as clear as the egg on your face.
WHAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC THINKS OF HUNTING is DUE TO the actions of those DOING IT. INCLUDING all the greed and selfishness the common hunter shows today.....and is even TAUGHT as a young hunter by many.
"As long as you got your big buck.......ALL IS GOOD"
yep, lets give the slob hunters ANOTHER tar brush blacken us all to kill the sport all together in the public eye.
It doesn't matter right?
Heck with them.......AS LONG AS WE GET WHAT WE WANT!
Such an attitude and anyone even WILLING to argue the point makes me ashamed to the point I want to PUKE.
