I'm thinking tactical nukes ** -- BocaHoo91 02/23/2018 3:06PM

I say we take off and nuke the whole forest from orbit.... -- Freddyburg Hokie 02/23/2018 3:26PM

Jesus, again with the feral pig epidemic! :D ** -- Seattle .Hoo 02/23/2018 2:00PM

It's a serious problem that affects tens of Texas farmers. Look, sometimes -- WahooRQ 02/23/2018 2:09PM

Personally I support the war on feral pigs and the deputizing of Cletus -- 111Balz 02/23/2018 2:16PM

You guys need to take that shtick on the road...LOL ** -- Hooooooooooooooo 02/23/2018 2:33PM

As humorless as you are stupid. Sigh. ** -- WahooRQ 02/23/2018 2:18PM

This crisis has been kept hidden for too long. We know that feral pig -- 111Balz 02/23/2018 2:06PM

They ran wild and free before 1964. Thank God for the AR-15! -- Beerman 02/23/2018 2:03PM

They werer born free and they have the right to live free. -- 111Balz 02/23/2018 2:46PM

My faith is restored! ** -- Hoodafan 02/23/2018 2:20PM

You are surprised a rifle does more damage than a handgun? ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 1:13PM

I for one am. I was told AR-15s were designed merely to wound. ** -- BocaHoo91 02/23/2018 3:07PM

Lol, you're cute. ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 3:26PM

AR-15 round has a higher velocity than even a .30 cal deer rifle. -- HowieT3 02/23/2018 1:30PM

That's why you don't use an AR to hunt deer... -- hoothat 02/23/2018 1:33PM

The AR-15 appears to be a very effective killing machine -- WahooMatt05 02/23/2018 1:45PM

Not all ammo is the same either. -- hoothat 02/23/2018 1:48PM

357 is a walk in the park. I'll let you shoot me with that. -- Hokieesith 02/23/2018 2:29PM

Or a .50 cal black powder wound... ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 1:59PM

But it's low velocity! -- hoothat 02/23/2018 2:00PM

What do private citizens use an AR for? I mean other than mass killings ** -- 111Balz 02/23/2018 1:43PM

Self defense? Like you, I'm not going to pretend to be a gun expert by -- Hoodafan 02/23/2018 2:00PM

No one other than Tony Montana purchases an AR-15 for self defense... -- BocaHoo91 02/23/2018 3:11PM

Then your blanket statement is wrong** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 4:19PM

No one in the US lives where they require an AR-15 for home defense. -- BocaHoo91 02/23/2018 9:33PM

It makes a great varmint rifle. ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 1:44PM

And I guess makes people feel macho while doing so. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 02/23/2018 1:46PM

LOL! ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 1:53PM

Pretty sure there's some truth to that statement. ** -- Shenhoo 02/23/2018 2:27PM

I'm sure your psychotic ass has several of them too. ** -- WahooRQ 02/23/2018 1:45PM

I’ve got one. ** -- Hokieesith 02/23/2018 2:03PM

As usual, you'd be wrong. ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 1:46PM

Yes. and as the article points out the higher velocity causes more damage. -- HowieT3 02/23/2018 1:36PM

You mean physics still applies? ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 1:38PM

In terms of amount of damage, yes -- WahooMatt05 02/23/2018 1:20PM

Hunting rifles do the same thing...compare the damage done by the AR-15 to, -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 1:41PM

And yet the AR-15 has never been used in war. ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 1:45PM

Exactly! The point is being missed here. Intentionally. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 02/23/2018 2:13PM

Which of these is a "weapon of war"? -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 3:02PM

They're quite different, aren't they? Don't be stupid. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 02/23/2018 3:09PM

Like pretending a "well regulated militia" -- hoothat 02/23/2018 3:44PM

That's speculation. -- Chuck Taylor 02/23/2018 4:14PM

That isn't speculation -- hoothat 02/23/2018 4:26PM

I can't help but notice your non-comment on my militias comments........... -- Chuck Taylor 02/23/2018 5:56PM

Which part? -- hoothat 02/23/2018 8:02PM

The word regulate has the same definition now as it did in 1787............ -- Chuck Taylor 02/23/2018 9:48PM

Armalite lost...perhaps because it wasn't good enough as a 'weapon of war'. ** -- Hokie5150 02/23/2018 2:14PM

It wasn't...And that's the point zipping over their heads ** -- hoothat 02/23/2018 2:36PM
