Hunters say firearms ban didn't affect hunting season

[oaknut]

Gilroy did the ban effect hunters, yes it did. Why is it so hard to admit the truth?

Of course it did, you would have to me wearing 6 pairs of rose colored glasses to think it wouldn't.

What you have not figured out is what percentage of hunters did it affect because the Liberals did figure that out and they also figured out they will not win or loose any more votes because they already ran on the promise and voters were already in one camp or another.

There are 16,000 or so members on this HUNTING forum and they are not exactly banging the door down on this issue. IMHO

Even in this thread there are only two people claiming the ban affected them and neither it seems gave up hunting as a result. They either have or will use other firearms.

Hardline gun activists have taken various failed approaches to drum up support among gun owners who have little interest in the guns that are now banned. There was an inane attempt to suggest all shotguns with choke tubes were included, that muzzle energy limits affect hunters when the impact is only on a few rare calibers that are wildly-overpowered for Ontario game or that hunting will be seriously affected which is clearly not the case. Finally, they fall back on "your guns are next and if you don't support us none of us will be there to support you."

Wild accusations, insults and threats are rarely successful techniques to recruit people to support your cause.

What is military style per se? The 303 British was a military gun, the SKS, the 30-30 Winchester, the musket! The AR 10 was never a military gun.

The BAR, one balsam needle and its "click". Strip and clean that BAR in 5 mins without carrying a toolbox and get back to me.

I thought the AR 10 was used militarily back to the 60s ?
I hade my eye on a Benelli MR1 for coyote hunting. Match it up with 10 round LAR mags and it would be a great yote gun. All the Liebral spin on “assault” weapons kept me from getting one. So far, Liar Billy and his band of nitwits have not banned the MR1.......yet!!

These are the gangsters our liberals are going after. The streets are much safer now these types of people are no longer able to be shooting up the city streets.

It was never used in North America aside from 18 rifles used in Canada which was the 10T. A Dutch group bought rights to the 10 and sent them to the Sudan and Portugal. Italy, Burma, Guatemala and a couple others used them for special police forces. The US went with the M14 after the prototype 10 had a barrel burst during testing.

We now use variants of the AR15 like the C7 and C8. Crazy thing about all this hogwash is that the Tikka T3 is a current Canadian Rangers rifle..... go fugure

I think trusty justy and Bubba Blair sat down with a bag of THC gummies and picked the banned "assault weapons" out of a picture book. There's no rhyme or reason to any of it. Figuring out this blunder is like predicting the exact path of a Tornado.

The MR1 would make a handy little coyote whacker. Given the bad taste I have in my mouth I can certainly see why one would be hesitant about picking one up.

OP why can't you figure it out? Did the ban effect hunters, yes it did. Why continue to argue the facts?

Ok, ok it affected a couple of hunters ,you happy now.LOL

Liberals must also think if all our guns were banned it wouldn't affect our hunting season because we can still use bows!

I dont know what's so hard to comprehend. If your hunting gun is banned and you have to find a new one, I'd say your hunting season is affected. Lol

Those of us thinking about it like you are the frogs who get put in the pot of boiling water and jump back out.

Those thinking like the OP are convinced that the water has only just gotten comfortable and will sit contentedly until they boil to death.

Your frustration is clearly understandable and without questioning the wisdom of a build on an AR10 platform given the publicly-stated policies of the current government did or will the ban stop you from hunting or will you continue to hunt with a different rifle?

It may not have affected his hunting but it took away his choice.

Why does everyone have to like the same things ? Every single person has a different need or want .

It's hasn't changed the gun crimes so what's the difference if law abiding citizens have them?

The AR-10 used 7.62X51 mm ammo (.308Win). That makes it a perfect big game caliber. That rifle illustrates how out-to-lunch the rationale that hunters wouldn't use the rifle to hunt really is. The downside of the older rifles is that they were full automatic (select fire). The next generation designed for civilian use were not,not one bit different than a standard Remington 742 Woodsmaster except it looks "scary". Snowflakes tremble in their boots and pee their panties.
The notion that because it doesn't affect them is folly of the highest order. Some say "I still have my rifles" misses the point completely,either,by ignorance,dogmatic obedience,stupidity or by being deliberately obtuse. In the short term,they're correct. In the long term,not so much.
