And I wasn't talking about "machine guns" or

A suppressor is an NFA device, regulated exactly the same way as
a M2
.50 cal or a 20mm anti tank gun.

Not counting grenades and LAWS rockets and the like. However it is
legal to own a bolt OR semi-auto .50 cal with an FOID card in
Illinois.

Great for hunting deer...

Might be, I've never tried it.

Well, if that doesn't work, get yourself an RPG. Hunting ought to be
renamed for what it is...animal slaughter. It's the same as cattle
slaughter.

Are you a vegetarian?

No. But I don't consider hunting a "sport," or hunters "sportsmen." It's
simply slaughtering mammals for consumption in a different way than it
usually is done in the meatpacking industry. There's very little skill
involved in looking through the scope of a rifle, pulling the trigger
and killing a deer. I've seen it done several times by guys who can
barely tie their shoes.

Now, if you "hunt" with a still or video camera, and manage to get
really close and personal with an animal, that is a sport that usually
takes a great deal of skill to produce results.

And I no longer think fishing is a "sport," either. Isn't evolution of
thought wonderful?

When are you going to pay your taxes?

THAT would be a good sport!!
