Coyotes have access to all manner of weaponry thanks to BIG ACME, so I get it.

Semi auto handguns. Where do rich white people stand on those? You should never need more than say...6 shots? 10 at the absolute most?
We had a coyote in our suburban back yard. It ran away and jumped a 6ft fence when animal control came towards it with a stick.
All you need to control the population is an over-sized cannon, huge cliff, or anvil.
One possible side effect of all of these shootings is that I think current/future generations will be so put off by gun violence that our national gun fetish will eventually peter out. You're already seeing it with the NRA's financial struggles imo
I don't disagree one bit Anth. I have family in Dayton and a cousin who was near the shooting area just an hour before it happened. Now more than ever I'm more open to laws and procedures changing, but not the line in the sand that a law abiding citizen who is deemed sane can't purchase a certain firearm when there are already an estimated 15,000,000 of (AR-15) in citizens hands in the United States today. I'm not sure where it ends. Is it just guns that look like ARs? There are semi automatic Glock handguns that you can have a 30 round magazine for and 18 round 12 gauge shotguns. Those aren't ARs but could be dangerous in the wrong persons hands. I just don't see how the government will be able to ban one type of gun without banning all of them.
Regardless, I was once as big of a diehard as any NRA member but now admit that stuff has to change.
-How about them Wildcats?
I don’t care if it’s the teachers union or the NRA or big pharma or the Society for Human Resource Management. Just totally opposed to these sycophant boobs raising money to lobby and buy the government. Total bs.
Do you watch the news at all man? Probably go pick up an extra AK for my wife today.
Can’t send her to the store in this world unprotected!
Best way to solve a tough problem is pretend you want to do something of substance about it but throw up your hands in mock frustration and use lazy arguments about how it’s impossible. These kind of people don’t actually want a solution if the compromise to get it done negatively effects them personally, even in the slightest.

You can say if they don’t have guns they’ll use something else...okay, use something else. Guns are the absolute easiest way to murder dozens of people in a hurry. Maybe make it a little tougher on the people who are going to “do it anyway.”
Yes, gun violence in Chicago is awful. But it’s not a legitimate argument for having no gun control. A lot of those weapons are brought in from neighboring states with weak laws.
It’s not a coincidence that we have the highest amount of random mass murders and we also live in the easiest place in the world to get guns.
On the flip side, no one should be talking about taking every single gun away. Being able to own a gun is part of who we are as a country, and it’s not a legitimate strategy to ban them all and take them away.
But to act like some legitimate measures won’t at least improve the problem is lazy and stupid. Both sides must compromise more than they want to on this issue or it will absolutely never get solved. And being that the current state of this country is “if you believe the opposite of me you’re a dipshit loser racist/commie” I don’t hold out much hope for a resolution, or even a curbing of the problem.
The LEFT is going to have to allow people to keep some guns in some manner, and the RIGHT is going to have to recognize this is an improvable problem and they might get inconvenienced a bit and not be able to have everything they want.
Fixing a tough problem is going to make both opposing sides upset at how the deal worked out for them. No one will be happy, and then we’ll know we’ve at least made a step in the right direction.

Again, most countries already ban or limit type of guns you can own/posses/etc. That's a ridiculous argument.
Gun Laws by Nation
Gun Laws by Nation
With all due
Either confiscate all guns or arm the masses to the teeth. Those are your only choices.
nope, sorry. It, along with any other complicated issue, is a binary all or nothing choice.

Your change isn't really about change...it's more about accountability. Change is admitting you have no need whatsoever for the type of guns you have mentioned.
"law abiding citizen who is deemed sane".....deemed sane by whom? As long as it is a legal transaction, then that is out the window.
And it is irrelevant as to how many are on the street now...you have to start somewhere, just like new rules and regs for auto manufacturers in terms of emissions, mph, etc.
We all know whose hands the blood will be on when Huber's subdivision is under siege and he doesn't have his AR-15 to protect himself AND his family.
Given the most recent 4-5 year history of shootings in Chicago, that makes it a very legitimate argument. It is an epidemic. And it also dispels the leftist rhetoric of "white supremist" given the race data of these shootings that the left so conveniently ignores week after week after week.
The left isn’t trying to take everyone’s guns. That’s a dumbass strawman. The gun issue falls on one side. Nobody GAF about your hunting rifle or keeping a handgun for protection.
Jon Voight outlived a surprising number of people in this picture.I assumed Huber was referring to these coyotes
Just a few more posts and I think you guys will have it all figured out. Come on, you can do it!
Now if we can just get them to realize profiting off the media glorification of these issues is just as big of a problem as the weapons.
I switched to Cope pouches to help me ween off. Feel like a big puss but it’s cutting down my habit quite a bit. Was up to 25 cans at the apex, now about 6 cans of pouches a week.
Like to cut that in half over the next month and be completely done by Fall.
Hard habit to kick

25 cans per week?
Good Lord, that's a $500 a month habit.
Was rocking along just fine with snus for about 9 years, then picked up a can of Skoal one day because they were out of snus.
Big mistake.
That stuff is so much better than snus and now I'm back on the Skoal train again.
Luckily the world is going to end in 12 years so it doesn't really matter.
3 years this month smoke free for Dad.
Certainly enjoy the occasional Skoal treat, though.

Hmmm, you guys wanna get rid of the guns that kill FRACTIONS of people compared to tobacco.
Priorities.

Tobacco kills myself, not 60 random ppl.
But I spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye.

Dipping is f*cking repulsive. Good lord.
-switched to "the gum" when my wife/daughters told me my breath smelled like cat shit. 60-80 usd a week...and my breath smells like cinnamon now.
