Do you not see that my question had to do with why do people in Chicago need semi automatic rifles if they are not dealing with feral hogs? And it became clear later that the answer was hunters like to use semi automatic rifles?

The funny thing is that you complain about 'hyperbole', and apparently you dont see the difference between the question you asked originally and your current restatement of it to the more germane 'why would a dude in Chicago need a semi-automatic'. Rich.

Yep, your first phrase of that question contained *zero* hyperbole. Kind of amazing lack of self-viewing clarity in your complaint.

And then call my terming the question as ''why does a guy in Chicago care about feral hogs' as apparently hyperbole. And yes, you pounded the 'feral hogs' line for a long friggin' time, notwithstanding your protestations to the contrary here now. Hell, you even tried to name *me* as the instigator of that somewhat spurious rationale.

And, I am off this tangent. I hadnt gone down the personal trait calling out in this thread or the gun thread at all, but you and lad seem to want to change it to that at this point.

As noted before, just amazing. And, considering the change in tone and topic came from *you* two, the fact that you two went down this in the first place just amazingly gd hypocritical.

Refer to the thread "Why do all these racists keep joining the GOP?". Post #210 (08-06-2019 06:22 AM).

Quoting you directly from your post as you responded to Lad (not paraphrasing as I don't want you to accuse me of hyperbole):

Quote:Do you really think all deer rifles are bolt action? Just because that is the way you have hunted doesnt make it all universally inclusive, does it?

By the way my deer rifle is also used for feral hog. Kind of fing stupid to run across an enraged 400 lb sow with a bolt action. Maybe that is just me. Or javelinas in the brush.

Javelinas and 400 lb pissed off momma hugs are a tad different than field mice, one would surmise.

Are you so self-involved that you think all hunting is bolt action? Lolz.....

Since you so fixated on a single instance of feral hog as the end all and be all for the answer to everything -

Johnny Hyperbole rides again.

Quote:-- perhaps you might also fixate on the first sentence there relating to bolt-action rifles.

Good job there 93 <slow clap>

Or perhaps look at more recent posts than that that sepcifically name AR style rifles as the most widely sold sports long rifle in the US.

Yep, but fixate on one post from two years ago (an exemplar, mind you) as the end all and be all of everything. <slow clap, again>

You do realize that I located your post to respond to your comment of "Hell, you even tried to name *me* as the instigator of that somewhat spurious rationale."? I knew that I hadn't made up that connection out of the blue.

At this point one might have responded with "Oh... my bad. I guess you were correct when you said that it was me who originally introduced the idea that semi-automatic rifles were useful when it comes to feral hogs." I didn't actually expect you to do something reasonable so your actual response is not at all surprising.

15s are mediocre for feral hogs, where a 10 is superb with them.

But, interestingly it is *you* that seemingly uses that one exemplar as the end all and be all, dude. You banged that drum incessantly for about two days. And then asked a mind blowingly stupid question relating to it. Your banging that one note trumpet was pretty specious --- And holy smokes, you still keep beating that pigskin. I guess if that blows your hair back, go for it pardner.

So back on subject, it is one use there, pardner --- that is among many. Are we clear on the subject? Capiche? Any more explanations to satisfy your swine fetish that you seem to have a hard time shaking?

Your using it as the *only* thing they are good for in a query (i.e. your dude from Chicago) is rather shallow, stupid, and specious in that regard. In many aspects.

So kudos, you found me noting 'hog hunting' as *a* use two years ago. Whoop de fing doo. I noted it a couple days ago as well, but I guess that escaped you.

Doesnt detract from the other uses, does it? --- that is, to go along with the amazing preconceptions that city people have zero use for semis in general, that city people ostensibly do not hunt, and the semis are rarer than platinum and not used for hunting in general.

But, I did notice that that lack of knowledge (common sense?) certainly doesnt detract you from throwing up talking points based on Canadian law. Which, mind you, is rather far removed from our own law in many pretty significant ways. But feel free to espouse that.... seems you are exceptionally deft at avoiding all those details and issues contained in that issue. Quite entertaining that you sidestep most of your rhetorical crap by espousing 'well I am just trying to learn' -- it comes across as you being a rhetorical windbag to be honest.

The *really* funny thing is that you asked a shallow question on 'how does some dude in Chicago need an AR for feral hog hunting' --- when called out on the weird as heck issue that city people actually hunt, and that semis are used quite heavily in hunting, your response was two-fold --- 1) you knew city people hunted; and that 2) somehow you think the the use of semi autos is rarer than a five leaf clover.

I would think that one of your intelligence would be well up on the facts of "city folk go a huntin' from tahm to tahm", as opposed to asking the single unitary question re: Chicago residents and feral hogs.

When you quickly retreat to 'well I know that', the interesting thing is that is at odds with you asking the question in the first place.

So that leaves your 'feral hog drum pounding' and *that* question as either one of asking a rhetorical question that you are stunningly ignorant of the use and popularity of ARs (I mean *seriously* ignorant), or the question was just done with sheer dishonesty with a healthy dose of disdain. Not a great set items there, mind you.

If you are that ignorant, as just a word of advice, I wouldnt ask such an enormously stupid and rhetorical question. If not, shame on you for your dishonest rhetorical approach.

Given the two scenarios above, I guess having you answer any of the questions at the level of due process and the implications of fundamental rights on that Canadian thingy would be asking for you to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Toodles pardner. Or should I say oink oink oink?

And, by the way sparkles, did you note that the gun in reference was my "deer rifle"? I guess your superhuman powers of observation missed that use there...... funny that.
