Montana Montana Governor Steve Bullock Says Hunters Don’t Need 30-Round Mags

[No_Regerts]

And the 2nd amendment doesn't need hunters...
...anyways, NEXT.

Wrong. If the hardcore 2A people keep saying "Fudd this and that" and they "don't need hunters", you'll end up losing a lot of people that could be allies. Any interest group that uses arms needs to onboard.

You haven't lived till you've gone noodlin' with a scuba and a 100 round AR. Scuba so you can stay down longer, 100 rounds cause you can't see bubblegum in the mud and who wants to reload under water?

Obviously this governor is simply doing it wrong. Someone get the man a scuba suit and an AR

I may need to add this to my Bucket List!

You'd hope but look at:

Steve Bullock

Ballotpedia: The Encyclopedia of American Politics

ballotpedia.org

He won by 91%.

He terms out in 2021.

I'm curious what he said on record while campaigning and how that lines up with what he's saying now.
I'm sure he knows 2A rights are important to most Montanans - I mean it's not like he was campaigning in Portland.

He always gave the 2A lip service, but would always veto pro-gun bills and started to go full blown anti after his last reelection.

Gianforte takes aim at Bullock's record on gun rights

Greg Gianforte has accused Gov. Steve Bullock of overstating or outright lying about his record on gun rights, suggesting he would align with Hillary Clinton “to take our guns away.”

The 2A doesn't mention hunting or tax paid protection for governors. You first. One is giving up a right. The other would be giving up a privilege.

 

[Member 5605]

That was for the democratic primary....not the actual election

DOH! That's what I get for multitasking at work. Lemme fix my error.

You're definitely onto something here. I can picture this and what an image it brings to mind.

I think you misunderstood. The 2A doesn't require you to be a hunter. I don't hunt, yet I have many reasons to own a gun and 30 round magazines starting with "because I want to."

Basically if NOBODY in the world hunted, there would still be 2nd amendment. How easily the two are conflated. Not saying we don't need hunters. We need everyone.

 

[RVTECH]

I get real tired of the efforts to narrow the 2A to hunting.

So do I - and especially when most of these idiots mention round amounts 'you don't need' are higher than what is typically legal.

Therefore to equate 'need' of what is most likely higher than what is legal is pointless and nonsensical - but does anybody try to make that connection?

 

[CamoDeafie]

Where in the BOR does it say Congress shall have taxpayer funded personal security guards? They don't need them; after all thats what the police are for

Americans don't need pandering leftists who think they have a higher moral authority over our lives and personal property. My $.02

We've all met/seen these guys:



You know, the "hunters" that are very hostile towards the 2nd Amendment. There seem to be more "hunters" that are against us, with the same mentality as the most virulent anti, advocating for an AWB, handgun bans, magazine bans/limits, universal background checks, mandatory buybacks, closing all the so-called loopholes, outlawing all guns but the ones they like, etc............

Chipper Jones, avid hunter, denounces assault weapons like AR-15

Chipper Jones was five or six years old when his father taught him how to shoot a gun, this coming before he had even played his first game of Little League baseball. He grew up loving one as much as the other, becoming not only a Hall of Fame player for the Braves but an avid outdoorsman.

I’m a hunter, and I support gun control

The unintended consequences of the Second Amendment have been steadily growing. Some argue that’s a small price to pay for our freedom. I disagree.

Pissed Off Hunters Are Ready for Real Gun Control

“I have heard for decades that hunters all have to stand together or we'll hang separately, and I don't buy that.”

www.vice.com

A few weeks ago, I this very discussion with a neighbor, who's an 80 some odd year old "ban assault weapon" "hunters". I informed him that AR's are great for coyote hunting, the reason for the 2A and a range of other topics, but he wouldn't budge. It's funny that before this we were friendly and would talk for a little while every time we met, but since he found out that I own an AR, he won't even look at me, my wife or even in the direction of my house. I guess that he's worried my "evil baby killing assault rifle" will jump up and get him. This guy definitely deserves the term "Fudd".

So, my question is with so many hunters hating us (anyone who owns an evil "assault weapon") and wanting our firearms confiscated, how do we get them on our side? Or at least get them to quit trying to throw us under the gun control bus?

I personally don't see them coming around until the govt goes after their "sniper rifles" and room clearing "combat shotguns", but by then it'll be too late for us.

His last name (Bullock) is derived from the British slang word bollocks.

Bollocks /ˈbɒləks/ is a word of Middle English origin, meaning "testicles". The word is often used figuratively in colloquial British English and Hiberno-English as a noun to mean "nonsense", an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, or an adjective to mean "poor quality" or "useless".

That makes sense to many gun owners, but the problem is that won't make a difference to the "hunters" mentioned; as it doesn't affect the only firearms they care about; their preferred bolt action rifle and/or hunting shotgun.

Roll up your sleeves and EXPLAIN why that cake is famous. EXPLAIN to them that they are holding the last pieces, and that a bunch of the cake is already gone.

I sympathize with what you are saying, but there is no magic bullet (no pun intended).

Winning hearts and minds is a function of time.

This :

Is no different than :


Both are rifles....Both were made to accurately place a projectile on a target.

The fact that one is a semi-auto rifle with a 30 round magazine and the other is a antique single shot flintlock , does not change the fact that both are rifles.

If I use either rifle I can :
Hit my target...
Win a shooting match...
Hunt and or bring him dinner...
Defend myself...
Have fun...
Exercise my 2nd Amendment Right...

If I misuse either I can :
Harm or kill myself or others.

Again all the same , because both are just rifles.
