They would be too young to purchase the guns in the first place.
Yet again I catch a google, pesky things get everywhere.

PS. I wouldn't say shooting innocent animals with automatic rifles from a distance is much sport either. You go kill a bear with a spear, then I'll call it sport.

Well what the hell are you talking about. Most states have a 5 rnd. cap on rifles, if that. The mere presence of opposable thumbs gives us a totally unfair advantage, firearms or otherwise.

Hurray for supporting what would be the downfall of humans.
Yes. Some folks use bolt actions, lever actions, shotguns of various types. The percentage of folks using semi-automatic weapons is slim. No one is using automatic weapons, that would be any number of felonies. And the idea of opposable thumbs is that we don't get into straight fights. We dig a hole with pointy sticks at the bottom, or chase them off a cliff, or drown them in a river. I doubt many homo sapiens have just had at their prey with a knife.
Also I thought it had some practical applications such as if a hunter was paralysed or disabled and couldnt walk out deep into the woods on his own.
and btw
no one hunts with automatic weapons.... those are illegal and I wouldnt call it a murderous rampage either.
You have to get permits to get a deer for example you cant just go out and shoot everything in sight. There are lots of regulations.
One hunter going out patiently waiting in the woods, waiting for just the right shot and then getting the deer thats hunting. Then you get to skin it, take all the tastey meat to eat etc.. yea thats a murderous rampage...
Vs
Raising millions of cows and chickens so you can have your chicken nuggets, hamburgers, or other non fast food, only to be slaughtered by the millions.
heh. thats what u call food for the people.

Dude, whats with this facts thing? I bet if we keep acting like this, we can make the guys hippie head spin right off.
2) The murderous rampage thing was mainly a semi-serious/sarcastic comment in regards to the CS comments seen earlier.
3) I have no problem with hunters who hunt for meat, nor do I think they go on murderous rampages every now and then. I do however, object to calling it sport. As far as I'm concerned, it's no different from a farmer killing cows or whatever, it's just done in a different setting. Give the poor animal a fair chance, beyond merely being lucky enough not to be found, then I will call it sport. People can hunt for meat or to keep the animal population under control all they want for all I care, but to hunt for sport, for fun, in such a way that the animal doesn't even stand a chance is simply wrong in my eyes.
I'm not a hippie, BTW, but thanks anyway for that completely false analysis. Don't get into psychology, it's unlikely that you could be further from the truth.
Edit: In any case, I'm going to bed. I doubt anything you say can convince me that the following is wrong: The animal can't win, it can merely not lose. If you still want to try, go ahed.
I said illegal in regards for hunting <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I know you can still own them
Edit yea 1934 restriction for automatics to civilians and 1994 assault weapons ban both have legal loopholes but they are still highly regulated and u cant hunt with them.
perhaps an admin should just move this to the discussion forums for the benefit of both sides?
You ever actually been hunting Status?
I see your point, but that's like having a paralyzed basketball player watch basketball on TV and yell "SHOOT!" into a microphone every time they think a player should shoot and "PASS!" when they think they should pass. You hunt for the sport of it and for the food; the sport is gone when you're just pointing and clicking and if you love deer meat that much it's probably cheaper to buy it than to hook up an internet hunting thing.
