Doug, once people start comparing Doctors to guns the conversation has already reached the point of complete ridiculousness. I'm just trying to keep up.
Do you love your bullets Like Captain Compassion?;-)
So what you are saying is that Americans just don't enjoy wounding and maiming each other, you enjoy wounding and maiming wildlife as well.
Do you enjoy nailing your neighbors pets to trees as well?
This thread pertains to handguns and assault rifles. I have no problem with guns designed for target shooting or sport shooting. I've never heard of a kid taking his dads target rifle to school to shoot another child or teacher. I'm sure the kids at Columbine weren't packing System Gemini TR 701s.
Bill, as a Canadian I have to say that you crossed that line quite some time back...
You really are a complete twit, Bill.
If you are indeed a Canadian, I apologize on behalf of those of us that aren't raving loons.

I generally remove myself from discussions that are pushed into the just-plain-goofy range, but this really strike me as curious. I've never anything to a tree, and I wouldn't eat pets. I've eaten game animals, and I've killed vermin that were clawing their way into my nice house. I've never hunted purely for "sport" or pleasure, and never intentionally maimed anything. I do it mainly because something other than prepackaged (and frequently inhumanely-killed) meat is welcome after a while, and because I can.
Using hackneyed redneck or nutcase stereotypes, or insults is very unbecoming, and does not add an aura of intelligence to those using them. Same goes for pansy, fraidy-cat, or communist barbs frequently thrown by people on the other side of the argument.

Oh, great. You're a Michael Moore fan too. It figures.
Purpose-built high-accuracy target weapons are outside the normal person's price, maintenance, and service range. The vast majority of guns used only for target practice in the US are common rifles and handguns. If guns owners only bought (and were able to) Olympic target handguns and rifles, then those would be the types stolen or bought for crimes. They're usually semi-autos and of the same .22S or .22LR calibers used in the most prolific handguns and rifles.

RE: Contents, not Subject
Why don't you clowns take this bullshit off list.
You are all a total PITA, regardless of your position.
A gun nut is a gun nut. I'm just glad people like you are few and far between in Canada.
There is no reason. Your gun carnage speaks for itself.
Would you prefer we talk about Dave?
But you are right.
Now you've moved to "barking moonbat" status.
See ya!
BTW, you voting Green or NDP on June 28?
Speak for yourself. I have yet to personally meet any gun owner who enjoys carnage or has any pathological or bizarre interest in firearms. Folks assigning particular attributes to the mind of a nonviolent gun owner is personal opinion, and the point at which discussions like this no longer have value.

Well, I'd prefer not to hear any more BS about putting nails in trees...
It's a felony in Canada. I actually hit a spike in a treated tie with my small chainsaw a few years back. It was ugly. If it had been a long chain it could have ripped a hasty hole in my leg.
Can be scary. I snagged an embedded chunk of barbed wire once and was extra careful ever after.
About the neighbors pets... I've heard that a small cat (well dried of course) makes an excellent push stick. (-:

This guy isn't discussing, he's trolling. Pass.
He won't have a valid one if he even comes back. EOF
------------------------------------------------------- "i" before "e", except after "c", what a weird society. ----
Not that few and far between Bill....Some of the better days I've spent are with a trunk load of misc handguns in a gravel pit or on a range plinking at cans and targets....legally and safely.
I have several long guns and several shotguns. All are registered, all are legal and all are used....no short guns though although I would if I could.
Leave it Bill, you're not the majority you think you are and you're certainly not speaking for a nation.

Ayup.
Now, back to treated lumber for bird houses...
Consensus seemed to be it's a bad thing, except for sparrow houses.
But what about bats? (I know... bats aren't birds, they're bugs) I've seen a couple of sites that say use pine for bat houses, and I've seen other sites and posts that claim to have turned bats from hickory or ash so I guess you shouldn't use hickory or ash for a bat house, right?
I've always heard bats were good to have around. Why would anyone want to turn them away and are they allergic to hickory and ash or do they just not like it? If you made a cross from hickory or ash would it kill a vampire twice, once as a vampire and once as a bat? What if you made it from hickory AND ash? That would be cool.
Also, I thought bats were flying critters and crickets couldn't fly. So whats this nonsense I read about cricket bats? How do cricket bats even
*catch* the crickets? All the crickets I've seen are under rocks and boards and stuff. No way can a bat fly under that.And how damned big are the bats that can catch and eat baseballs? Those would scare the hell out of me.
Man, I hope I never see a a baseball bat. Or a softball bat. Or a volleyball bat.
That's a scary thought. Good thing I've got two ash trees in the back yard. Even if one of them has a pine bat house on it.
I mean a bat house, made from pine. I have no idea what a pine bat even looks like. Hope it's smaller than a volleyball bat.
If you know what I mean...
