I goofed. Here is the program I "saw" about the reintroduction of woves to Yellowstone.



The "unwilling" statement was not meant to be literal. I'm not a new age Doolittle.
I simply meant that the decisions made by the other side, (people/governments) which allow weapons designed to increase the potential kill rate of a hunter, may make not bode well for those who can't vote. And why does the poor sportsman need an even greater advantage than that which is already available?
Because the conservation and hunting restriction laws we now have in the US keep hunters from critically endangering the overall well-being of game species. And most "sportsman" who use AR-15s or similar guns aren't using them to willy-nilly gun down Bambi and Kin in violation of bag limit. The rapid fire ease of such weapons more often used to put the smack down on "pest" species, such as coyotes and feral hogs. Speaking of which...

(Turn your delicate eyes away, Tine. Time to show the real utility of these types of weapons for "hunting".)

Warning! This is a video of feral hog hunting from a helicopter. And shows "kill" shots. If such things are disturbing to you, don't watch it. But it's a useful demo of why the semi-auto, low recoil, and high mag count of AR-15 type rifles are popular for hunting certain types of game.

I don't recall anyone saying these guns were illegal or that people who use them are in essence poaching. Hunting big game is an important part of some peoples lives and it is anything but easy. They have a level of respect, if you will, towards the game. Gun manufacturers are interested in selling guns and a selling point seems to be the salivating Rambo
That doesn't make these guns necessary or appropriate.
