Threat to our hunting rights?

[Bama Recurve]

I find this post very appealing.
We all discuss politics and current events at hunting camp. Why not here?
I'm still in my 20's. I hope many years from now I can take my grandchildren hunting as my grandfather took me.

Thanks for posting this. I was not aware of this until your post. I will be researching this and fighting any way I can.  Just made my last payment for my lifetime NRA membership.
So tired of all the anti gun stuff, anti hunting stuff, etc. Just imagine what could be done if all the anti this or that was directed to planting food, fighting poverty, support for wounded, programs for children, etc.

Gents,

I posted this thread because I love this site.. & my country!!! I come hear as well to hear about archery related topics foremost! If I have offended anyone I certainly apologize but our country seems to be at war on our heritage & personal freedoms... Our gun rights and our internet freedom as well with this new FCC net neutrality government regulation of the are at stake...that actually passed today I do believe ... Which if we are not made aware it will affect the freedom to come here and surf the net at free will.... It won't be the same if our government takes over the Internet .....that being said I don't post on these subjects normally if at all because its just come out ... I just wanted to make you all aware ... And at some point we are going to have to take a stand and fight for our rights ..... Just be aware and know what we are in for! We have many veterans on this site and I salute your service to this country!!! I am just bringing this issue to your attention .... If the government are allowed to ban bullets, control our Internet .... What's next? Our longbows, recurves .... Our hunting rights? Again, I am sorry if I offended anyone, but the affordable care act was passed on a bunch of lies ... Just be aware! Once its done ... its done! its very hard to unravel!

 God  Bless

Fox news.  That's an oxymoron.  Nothing like crying fire in a crowded theatre.  Not to worry, the NRA will save us. That is if it can take some time away from its efforts to legalize crossbows in every state in the nation.

Don't know many folks who hunt with a 5.56.  It's not a threat to hunting rights.  We have thousands of other calibers to choose from.  Regardless this isn't trad bowhunting related.

Why is it you want to pay big conglomerates more money to use the internet, or perhaps have them tell you you can't use it at all.  The net neutrality ruling protects the little guy.  Likewise with the Affordable Care Act.  Government does that.  Looks out for the folks who can't or don't know how to take care of themselves.  Maybe you would like to take on AT&T and Verizon and the big health insurance companies on your own.  I'm astounded. This isn't traditional bowhunting related either.

I think if you are going to throw this thread topic out there onto a Traditional Archery site you should at least site your source.
I'm here in MT and have my rifles too.
Disappointed that this is still a thread.

Same here. Tell me again how you use steel core .223 ammo for hunting. I for one am sick and tired of the steel gongs being shot up at our little gun club. I'm a life member of NRA too, but we need to pick our fights. I won't back this one.

Lets turn this back into a trad archery site.

Let it all go down. Honestly. All you hear,and see is fear breeding,and negative consumption. Our freedoms are frayed. Good men died for those. It does not matter in a lot of ways. Veterans are not treated fair,and liberal media has the pulse of the masses anymore. Let it all go down. I've got a bunch of beans. I can hole up for a long,long time. I know you boys can to. I buy ammo any time I see it for the guns I own. The United Nations Building has a revolver statue in front of it with the barrel tied in a knot. Fact. Just be ready. Something bad,and unprecedented could happen these days. You should have a plan for yourself,and family.  rat'

Moderators:  please pull this thread.  Way too much opinion and politics and not enough about archery. The positivity between bowhunters is eroding.

Astounded?  Yes, all those that died whipping the British so we could live under our OWN constitution, and NOT the stroke of a pen from a so called king.

What do I have to say????

Bhaaa, Bhaaa, follow your king and his henchmen and henchwomen off a cliff.

DK, it's a shame you even feel the need to apologize.  Brother, that's the way you feel and nothing wrong with that.  We do all need to stick together whether you shoot a Black Widow or a Black Rifle.  They get the m855, then they go after another one.  Of course, this is only my opinion but I did serve and fight for my country and am an NRA Life member.  

P.S.  I like the thread!

Fox New and The Blaze = NY Strips and T-Bones.

All other news media = tofu, rice cakes and jello.

Don't believe me? How come what Fox and Blaze keep predicting actually come true?

While other media outlets want you to believe we are living a Shakespeare play, 'Much Ado about Nothing' !!!

The 2nd amendment was not written to protect our ability to hunt. It was written so we the citizens could  protect ourselves if our government should fail or turn against us.

[Bladepeek]

Anyone who claims to be a supporter of our right to keep and bear arms, but says he wasn't aware of this isn't much of a supporter. The NRA, NSSF (National Shooting Sports Federation), major ammo retailers and every conservative form of media have all been screaming about this for quite a while. This just is not the forum. It's like reading truck evaluations in a gun magazine. That's not why I subscribe.

So why are they banning arms and ammo to protect ourselves against our own government?  That is even scarier!!!!  Wake UP!

What caliber won the west?  Same caliber that's killed more big game than any other.

Again, WAKE UP!!!

BHAAAAA!!!!

WOW...

It's all in the Bible. I rest in my faith, I know HE has complete control of all things. Our country is destined to fall. As are all others. It's part of HIS unique plan. Read Revelations and then you will have a true understanding of what is about to happen to this world. In the mean time, I have a recurve and some arrows that need to be tuned to perfection.

I'm against any gun/ammo ban. What's next? .308? 30-06? .223? 30-40 krag? Fast flight strings? The fact that our president would use executive order to so blatantly sidestep the Bill of Rights should scare the quivers off every member here. My point was that people shrug off a ban like this because "there's plenty of other legal bullets to hunt with" and to me the 2nd amendment isn't about hunting. Today it's .556, in 50 years flintlocks could be illegal
