re: #413 Slumbering Behemoth
I’d like to go hunting, just to learn the skills involved. Would totally suck balls if I got stranded somewhere remote. Unlikely, but I also have a Zombie Plan, so sue me.
I also agree that background checks are reasonable. Unreasonable ammo taxes are total ass, though.
I shot a squirrel when I was 10. Just one shot, it died almost immediately. But I’ll never forget the bloodcurdling shriek the animal made just as it got hit. Decided I didn’t want to ever hear that sound again. I just thought, “What the hell was the point of that?”
OTOH, if I lived up in the hills of Tennessee with Jed and Ellie Mae, killing varmints would make sense. It would be food and clothing, not just a selfish thrill.
