Re: The Armory - Guns, Knives, and Axes
Interesting article,
In the weeks since the horrific Valentine’s Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Florida, conversations about gun control have dominated much of the national discourse. All eyes are locked on firearms—who’s buying them and how, and what is the degree to which the gun industry’s dollars play a role in our political system? But here’s something you might have missed: Four days before the March for Our Lives, the federal government distributed $1.1 billion in tax dollars extracted from gun sales to state agencies. The money was earmarked for a specific purpose: wildlife conservation.
This may be surprising, but it isn’t new. The lion’s share of funding for state wildlife conservation programs comes from the sale of guns, ammunition, and other hunting supplies, thanks to an 80-year-old piece of legislation called the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, also known as the Pittman-Robertson Act.

The way Hickok45 wears that thing around the neck bugs me to no end. Can't anyone show him how it works?Okeefenokee wrote:

Anyone know what would be good for polar bears? Considering moving to Svalbard some time in the future. Or at least visit that place. But polar bears are big and scary, and I don't trust my Mauser for that, even with a bayonet attached.
Would a pump action shotgun with slugs suffice? Or would a lever action be better?

A shotgun for a polar bear?
Not a great idea, imo.

I don't think their paws are sufficiently dexterous to use firearms and they are probably dangerous enough already without giving them guns.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
