    There’s several YouTube channels about hunting feral hogs. I guess it’s a thing. More wild hogs than people interested in shooting them

    Pretty much any open land from the Carolina’s down to Florida and over into Texas

    I’m not personally interested

    I never see them talk about cooking and eating them. Just one YouTube from Kelly Young. - Fishing and cooking is her specialty.

    So the top 14 states on that chart are fairly consistently red. They have a combined population of just under 39 million, and hold 26 senate seats vs. California's 2 for their 39+ million people.

    Focus on the ammo. Make 5.56x45 really hard to get. Something that produces a wound channel like it does should not be civilian legal.

    Assault rifles come in all sorts of calibers. I dont have anything that shoots a 5.56.

    There's an easier solution



    They're already taxed, we just need to tweak the rate a little.

    I have seen a lot of variations of "we dont value life if abortion is legal" floated in cesspools of the internet, but i think this is the first rep I've seen say it.

    if there are significant numbers of these people that think ending roe v wade is going to solve the violence problem it's just more evidence that our system is inherently broken.

    Only a broken society would focus on the police failures in Uvalde:

    - America seems to have given up on preventing mass shootings and has resigned itself to demanding a faster more courageous response.

    - Understanding what really happened and why is essential. The police made the wrong choices on the ground in Uvalde.

    - The chaos also shows why it’s important to be skeptical of official narratives from police departments.

    - Police errors make for an alluring target, because they are so glaring and because they appeal to both sides of our intense partisan drive. One side instinctively blames the police and the other wants to change the narrative away from guns.

    - The fundamental problem, of course, is that semiautomatic weapons are easily available to nearly anyone in the United States with relatively little trouble. Gun-rights advocates have a litany of techniques to sidestep this argument. That doesn’t negate the simple fact that easy access to guns is what makes this country different from other developed countries.

    - Responding officers can make the best or worst of a bad situation, but once police are called, it’s already too late.

    - The police are asked to solve problems that every other part of society has been unwilling or unable to handle, and the barbarity, inefficacy, and clumsiness of police responses are products of that collapse.

    - The goal of police should be preventing crime, not stopping criminals after the fact.

    - Armed guards at schools, better preparation, fortifying schools—all of these have been proposed as good solutions, but few of them seem to work all that well in practice. Schools in Texas had already been “hardened,” but that didn’t prevent the horror in Uvalde.

    - People are right to be angry about the police response. But demanding that police respond more swiftly and courageously once the slaughter of schoolchildren has already begun is itself the mark of a broken society, which no longer seems able to ask that we prevent such killings in the first place.

    That didn't disprove my point. Lots of people do shoot 5.56 and when someone does use it to blast a bunch of civilians, it has the potential to create more carnage with less survivable wounds. So following a harm reduction strategy, removing 5.56 from civilian use seems like a no brainer. And it won't affect you. Or even me.

    I'm saying people will migrate to another caliber.

    I don't know about the more carnage and less survivable wound thing. 7.62, 300blk, 6.8 are in no way less lethal.

    Aren't all 3 of those considered High Velocity rounds?

    300 blk can be subsonic. 7.62/30 cal can be a few different varieties.

    I think we can all leave here satisfied we've accomplished something.

    You don't know much about firearm laws do you? I had to switch to booze. Which is a whole lot better than cannabis..........You can't privately sell Class 3 items dipshit.

    What a pathetic speech.

    We need a gun registry, with licensing to own a gun.

    Who gives a shit about all these ideas if millions of guns are already floating around.
