   Military or military style guns have no place in the hands of the general public. We will get evidence on Tuesday how serious the American people are about solving their gun violence problem.

   I applaud any killed deer that can’t run in front of my vehicles.

   I’ll agree with that – I’ve lived in places where the deer overpopulate and cause accidents because they weren’t hunted. I just think you shouldn’t use a weapon that can fire too quickly or an ammunition that can go through a deer to hit something on the other side. A bullet can travel quite a far distance before it loses its kinetic energy and capability of killing someone.

   You conservatives are a bit out of date on this one. There’s been a huge decline in deer populations in the past five years, probably from loss of habitat from increased oil exploration. (Yes, increased oil exploration, under Obama. Get over it.) Hunting deer with assault weapons is exactly as “sportsmanlike” as fishing with dynamite.

   “Adjustable stock. Extended magazine. Nightvision reflex sight. Detachable suppressor. Yeah, I know it seems a little unfair… but it’ll have to do until they come up with some way to keep those deer from running so fast!”

   All of you do understand that the “assault” weapons you are so against fire ONE round at a time. do you not? That NONE of the rifles you call “assault” weapons can fire multiple rounds? That one must activate the trigger every time one would fire the rifle you call an “assault” weapon?
   
   Do you get it? Automatic weapons, AKA “machine guns” are already illegal!!!!!!!
   
   So the cartoon is spreading false information.
   
   Yeah, it “looks” just like what the US military uses (with a selector switch that lets you choose 1, 3 or auto with training to use 3 round bursts) but it is NOT the same weapon.
   
   So once again your argument is based in falsehoods and fear.

   These single-shot assault rifles may be legal, and the mechanisms to convert them to fully automatic machine guns may be illegal, but the latter can still be obtained online and installed. And really, who the hell really needs a 30- or 100- round clip on an AR-15 to kill a duck or a deer? That’s not sport, that’s just slaughter.

   I admire your spirit, Bruce, but we have a better chance of educating a fire hydrant than a liberal about anything.

   @apfelzra

   Your “opinion” is duly noted. But I must ask who are YOU to decide how many times I have to reload my rifle? I have committed no crime, but YOU would have me labeled a criminal for the mere possession of a device that in and of itself can not hurt anyone.
   
   As a matter of fact I do not own any 30 round clips. MY one and only semi-automatic rifle has a ten round clip….of which I own 5.
   
   Do I need that many? Not today.

    Redneck: We HAVE TO kill the deer ‘cause they’re over-populating.

    
    Normal person: Why are they over-populating?

    
    Redneck: ’Cause we killed all the wolves.

    Exactly. And if our government becomes tyrannical, the police will enforce their dictates, which is why we need cop-killer bullets.

    To that, I add a plea to my conservative friends to stop supporting a strong military, because THEY TOO will be used against us freedom-loving Americans.

    
    Fight for a weaker American military so we can take them out.

    By reading these comments it is really apparent that 90% of the people know nothing about firearms or the balisticts of the cal.223 which is what most AR style rifles shoot. Non shooters jump to knee jerk reactions without any first hand knowledge of the subject and no desire to educate themselfs.

    @EJF

    ^ “Balisticts”? ""Themselfs"?

    
    How about you; do YOU have any desire to educate yourself?
