I own a hunting knife based upon a military design. Does that mean it's really a misapplied tool should I take it hunting, the purpose for which my father purchased it?

Misapplied? no.

But it's akin to an off-label use of a drug. That people now take doses of low strength aspirin to prevent heart attacks doesn't negate the fact that its primary purpose is as a pain reliever.

I think that's just practice for the real thing.

That's like saying swinging a bat in a batting cage is completely different from swinging one in a real game.

Wow. I was going to say something more rational, but after reading the rest of your posts, congrats. You've managed to come off like a complete troll and frankly kind of a doosh.

I thought you were well above that.

Actually, your post that started this path implied it. If shooting at a range is just "practice for the real thing" it implies those who are engaging in the practice are planning for the "real thing." If all these folks are heading out there merely to prepare for the "real thing," assuredly you imply this "real thing" is something they want, no?

Of course, you could simply be ignorant to wide swaths of people and places, but admitting that would take all the wind out of the ol' righteousness sails. And we just can't have that. But please, tell me more about people and places you know nothing about. I'm most excited to learn.

And again...who outside of one poster in here is calling for the banning of guns? Seriously that straw man needs to die. Regulating gun use/ownership /= banning guns and you know it.

Actually regulation is the same as banning. All you have to do is make the "regulations" so specific that it is impossible to pass. And then when you get them to turn them in, you get Wounded Knee all over again.

People need guns for self defense and hunting, right? That's been said countless times in this thread. Both of those involve killing things.

Target ranges are a means of practicing your ability to accurately and effectively shoot a gun should the need arise. That we have created contests out of such sessions doesn't negate the fact that they are still practice.

For farks sake, let's read the second amendment again. "A well regulated militia, being necessary..." We don't protect the right to bear arms because they're used for trap shooting or even hunting, that's ancillary. We protect that right because 200 years ago you might have been needed to organize and protect the homeland from an enemy, foreign or domestic.

Hunting, yes. (That deer gets ****ed when you start making jerky out of it while it's grazing.)

However, any good firearms self-defense instructor will tell you the goal is the stop the attack against you. Stop.

That's why the Minnesota guy who stopped the attack (by home invading thieves in his house) was fine to the point that he stopped them; the minute he went to get another weapon to shoot them again it was murder.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. Heck, Dan Rather reported Jim Brady died the day Reagan got shot. Hillary was under fire when she got off the helicopter in Baghdad. Millions believe an AR-15 is an assault rifle and that AR stands for "assault rifle."

When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.

What makes the 2nd so much riskier to regulate than any other Amendment?

We have regulations of what defines a religion, we have regulations of what actually defines free speech, we have regulations on what the press can do. There are openings in the search window that is gaping large, the time of "speedy" is large- and we know not all court proceedings are public, there are a LOT of voting rules, etc.

For every amendment- there are checks and balances for every law written that has to do with each amendment, too.

I don't see how regulation of the 2nd is any different than regulation of all the rest. All of which are still in place, applicable, and laws concerning them are constantly being heard in court.

Otherwise, you need to do a better job about the rest of the Amendments to lift the regulations on them, equally. Which I haven't seen happening.

I never thought he was above it. This standard operation for this particular poster. His opinion doesn't matter anymore, as far as I'm concerned.

Blah blah blah, more garbage spewed by one of the worst posters here. Your opinion doesn't matter.
