I hate people who treat them like some toys and fantasize about them. That makes me think they are in some sort of death cult. That they found socially acceptable way to love violence.

I would still get one for safety but it is a tool made for specifically one thing. To pierce the skin and rip through the inner organs of a person.

They can serve a good purpose but they are fundamentally grim tools of pain and suffering. They shouldn’t be celebrated and glorified in their own right, that is sick. They can be used to preserve something precious but at a price to pay.

    No, only some are and even then it’s not broadly accurate, it’s closer to Anthropomorphism.

    Weapons are designed from the ground up to kill animals. From birdshot 10g shotgun to bolt action plastic tip single shot rifle.

    Assault rifles are a category designed primarily to kill humans

        Hunters hunt overpopulated animals. Humans before us killed off most predators, leaving us with the duty of filling the roles of predators to control prep populations.

        Hunting is necessary, unless you want lions, bears, and wolves in your backyard, or else thousands of deer eating crops and crossing the highways.

          White rhinos? Oh sorry we killed all those.

            Hunters hunt overpopulated animals. Ever heard of deer? If they aren’t hunted, their populations explode, and they start starving in winter and spreading disease. Because in earlier times people didn’t have proper hunting laws and killed off all the predators. That’s why we have laws about that now.

            Poachers violate those laws to illegally destroy animals, often endangered, usually to sell body parts on the black market. I wasn’t defending poachers, numbnuts. May lions, tigers, and bears eat them all alive.

      Most people don’t seem to realize the perfect deer rifle is the perfect human rifle.

                  I said “cartriddge” because the bullet from a .223 and a .22 are very fucking similar in diameter, but i wouldn;t go deer hunting with a .22. So what the fuck is your point.
