Hunting is highly regulated, there is no mass murder going on out in the woods. Either way, you're killing a defenseless animal.

I always wondered why people would go through the trouble of trying to eat an animal they hunt in the woods. You have to chop off the head, chop off the body pieces you want, discard all the body parts you don't want.

Sounds like a bloody, messy, affair. Not to mention how much dead animals stink and you don't even know if its healthy to eat or not.

Because at one time, we had to. And it still has to be done, no matter what kind of meat it is or where it came from.

You don't have to do it yourself, simply take it to a butcher.

*Netkeeper* · 07-10-2016, 03:16 PM

Or just purchase your meat at the store because you're not a barbarian.

That's not a possibility everywhere, unless you know a butcher who's willing to break down an animal in their garage. I know in my area you can't use restaurant/food prep spaces for game meat, because of the threat of contamination.

People like doing it. I don't understand it, but it's recreation.

I'm pretty sure that this is the case back home too. The area near my house have a lot of deer. I think they're only allowed to hunt deer at a certain time of the year. Driving past the area, you may see a deer occassionally and it's unfortunate that a lot of deer run out in the road at night.

In my neighborhood, deer sometimes run through it.

Although I personally would find fencing or archery way more fun. [I also wouldn't have as big a problem with hunting if they used things like bows and arrows instead of ****ing guns]

The right to bear arms was granted because back then it was necessary, but like you said, if the government wants to pull anything, they'll pull it and we won't be able to do a damn thing about it, guns in hand or no.

So what would you recommend to a single mother living in crime-rampant south Chicago, who is faced with a male attacker who is 120 lbs larger than her (and he carried a knife) and wants to sexually abuse and kill her? How would she defend herself?

A video of the argument:

*plastroncafe* · 07-15-2016, 12:29 AM

Man, I hope she's a good shot and cool under fire, because then in addition to that guy having a knife he'd soon have her gun too.

Oh, wait, my turn!!! I love the what if game! Maybe instead she shoots him in the leg, 'cause she's not a complete idiot and knows how to handle her weapon. then as he's limping about she dials 911 and waits for the authorities to arrive!

But it gets better, right, cause then the cops show up and see a black woman with a gun and shoot her dead.

Right?

*plastroncafe* · 07-15-2016, 11:24 AM

What's sad is that's quite possibly accurate.

~~Commenter 42~~ · 07-15-2016, 06:40 PM

The truth would be she gots shot gun or not.
