Your vote isn’t worth less. It’s as important as any other vote in your state. The electoral college was created so rich states couldn’t rule over poorer/less populated ones. We shouldn’t have to change the electoral process because democrats are mad they didn’t win.

Nobody kills animals for entertainment, so your argument is bullshit. I don’t know any hunters who do it strictly to kill, and to assert that they do is ridiculous. It’s a fairytale made by non hunters to disparage hunting.

Man, we have states looking to circumvent the will of their state by giving out electorate to the nationwide winner instead of the states winner. It’s disgusting. the electoral college stops states like NY and Cali from making decisions for smaller states. That’s a good thing.

I know a lot of professionals who killed their west Montana accents, but none who changed their voice. Still, I understand why a woman might do so. i need to check out this documentary.

You eat farmed beef, therefore you are not morally superior to hunters. Again, stop trying to qualify hunting as entertainment. That’s more bullshit only non-hunters say to try to make themselves feel better about their ridiculous opinions. in general, anyone I’ve met who claims moral superiority are fools who look down on everyone else. I can can almost guess you’re from the south. Only southern christians make claims of moral superiority

True. While I support the NRA, I don’t agree with everything they advocate for.

No hurt feelings, just pointing out that you claiming you are morally superior is incredibly ridiculous

One thing I’m against is getting rid of the electoral college. It gives too much power to high population states.

No, their goals are to protect the 2nd amendment, which would be in much worse shape without them.

Evidence of what? Paying for a handjob? Did you expect prison? Edit: Shit, missed the double entendre.

The NRA isn’t evil, they are doing what they were created to do Like me I said, gun owners are worried about death by a thousand cuts. It never ends with just Arcalites. Now, I’ll tell you what I’d be fine with them ridding us of, which is open carry, and more restrictions on concealed carry (where and when, nobody needs a gun at work, the bar, the coffee shop, or in a store, for example). Im also for mental health competency. Make gun owners see a psychiatrist twice a year to ensure they are still mentally fit to own weapons. And make the gun owner pay for it. Miss your scheduled appointment, you get a notice with 30 days to have it done, then if still not in compliance, come get their fucking guns.

Again, there is nothing dangerous about responsible use of guns. You keep saying there is, but can’t provide an example. People are dangerous, not guns. What’s my kid going to do? Shoot a tree? hell, I’m far more concerned about him riding horses than I am of him hunting. It’s obvious you know nothing about responsible gun ownership, so it’s ridiculous that you are choosing this hill to die on. Yes, there is a thrill to hunting. There’s also a thrill to a quick kill. What is gut wrenching is a bad hit that lets an animal get away. Ill say say it again, EVERY state in this country has Wanton Waste laws with huge fines. 35 years I’ve been alive, I’ve never, even met one of these sport hunters of yours in North America. It’s generally an African hunting thing that 99% of us want no part of. In fact, the only time there isn’t a salvage requirement is in the case of depredation permits, which are only awarded to protect livestock from predators. and again, farming elk/deer/beef is far less humane than hunting it. It’s funny to hear you talk about moral failings while also advocating caging animals for their whole life so you can eat. now again, I have cattle, pork, chicken and turkey on my hobby ranch, so I’m no more moral than you, but at least I’m not pretending to be.

Because it rarely happens. The USA has wanton waste laws. It’s illegal not to use the meat of game animals in EVERY state, and the fines are huge. The idea that that trophy hunters leave meat behind is ridiculous. And also, killing old, trophy animals is the best thing you can do for the herd.

90% of people are buying their meat at grocery stores and you know it. again, there is no moral failing in killing to eat. It’s how we’ve survived most of our history. Unless you are actual vegan, you have no argument against hunting. Do do you think that your wife’s coop kills more humanely than hunting? Most animals live seconds at the very most, and it’s the best death they could hope for out in the wild. I have cattle too. Mines a hobby ranch. They live great lives. Fencing animals to kill is still less ethical than hunting.

Bet you buy meat too, though, huh?

Less than one percent of hunters are sport hunters, so again, you have no point.

Buying meat causes far more suffering than hunting, so I’m not sure how you can loathe hunting but be fine with buying meat.

I’m not protecting myself with an AR. I use it mostly for target shooting, wolf, and coyote.

We don’t kill them for sport, but no, there is no moral failing in hunting. That’s a ridiculous and wrong headed view of hunting by someone who doesn’t understand it.

You are wrong. Teaching kids responsible gun ownership and hunting skills is one of the best things you can teach them. My son has been target shooting for 5 years. He can bugle for elk, he can shoot effectively, ride horse, he loves the outdoors. Why would any of that be bad? Why is a 400 year old tradition suddenly bad? It’s not. how many shootings do you see by children of hunters, or hunters themselves? Hardly any, they all happen in cities. It’s not country kids hunting who are killing people. It’s the depressed, angry, city kids struggling to live in these ridiculous environments we’ve created that are shooting people, purposely and accidentally. My son knows he can’t use a gun without me. So what are all these horrible things that could happen? Name one? He has a great time and brings home elk? Maybe a sheep or mulie? You are saying all these things can go wrong, but there isn’t.

Have you ever hunted anything? Ever?

Lol, Hillary lost because of Kaine? That’s quite a take.

Here’s the problem about the AR15. We don’t trust you. It’s not about that gun specifically, it’s about what will the government try to take from us next? Pistols? Long guns? Death by a thousand cuts, that’s why we fight so diligently against restricting legal gun owners. We don’t trust the government not to take a mile. Especially a liberal government looking to appease their base. the only good thing trump has done is pack the courts with men who will vote to protect our rights.

We will burn this world to the ground, and ourselves with it. We deserve whatever we get.

Also, have you ever killed an animal with a gun or a bow? Don’t try to be smart about topics you know nothing about. The most ethical consideration in killing an animal is efficacy. And a gun is always more efficient. I hunt with bow too. And I know a lot of bow hunters. Alot more wounded animals escape from bow hunters than rifle hunters.
