...and your dad is 100% right.

I'm a hunter. I literally just got back from a week in the woods. 1200 acres of woodland and I was the only one on it.

I could have shot like I was trying to start a war if I wanted to... and scared off every bit of game around.

However, I only pulled the trigger one time for the whole week - after making sure of my target, sure I could make the shot, etc.

I've been around guys like that and I hate 'em - they give hunters a very bad rap. Your problem isn't semi-autos, its a few loose nuts acting like maniacs.

What is with these people? They've been target practicing all morning with semi-automatic weapons and it's not even hunting season yet! Do they really need to practice unloading the gun over and over? Is it really necessary to even have a semi-automatic gun for hunting? I say we ban the auto crap and make these fools hunt with pump action shotguns and bolt action rifles! It would save them money, and give the animals a chance! Who's with me?

I think you should learn about weapons, single shot, pump, lever action, semi-auto, 3 round busts and full auto...You had drivers education..right? to learn to drive...well they do the same with shooting...sighting in, adjusting sights and scopes to ensure a good shot placement.
Plus its our right to shoot, if we want to...I am sure you do things that bother me...but I am not saying anything yet...although if your going to be against guns and post in a survival forum, you might wanna find a different sight or forum to post in, because weapons are a part of survival....bows and arrows are weapons, so are sling shots and yes they are quieter...but usually...are a longer slower death for the animal...just so you know.
