ExiledInIllinois Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Any comments about the guy who killed 5 people when was asked to leave a private tree stand. Seems he used an assault rifle? I am not sure what to think? I am not sure what the fire arm rules are for this area of WI (southeast of Duluth)during deer season. Being a flatter (yet, not as flat as the southern midwest)area... I assume it is shotgun only? Then again there might be a rifle season? WTF, an assault rifle?
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 Link? 128349[/snapback] Sorry... I don't have it right now... It is breaking. I am listening to WLS out of Chicago right now... It has got to be all over by now? I will hunt for a link. Again, sorry.

KRC Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 http://www.greenbaynewschron.com/page.html?article=128703 128380[/snapback] Hard to comment on the information given. The guy was trespassing on private property. As of the publishing of this article, there is no determination on who fired first.
Alaska Darin Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Sounds like another case of loss of societal decorum. But let's blame "assault weapons" and beer cups because that's way more convenient than individual responsibility.
UConn James Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Expect to get a few rejections for requests to hunt on someone's land. A bad incident that casts an undeserved pall on every hunter.... BTW, on this topic, have any of you read articles on "canned hunts"? There was one in the Hartford Courant a couple of weeks ago. The description of how they're run is pretty non-sporting.

They were making it sound that way on the radio. It was conservative radio. I just always thought you hunt with a shotgun or some sort of regular rifle (in hilly areas). Hey if you need 3 rounds in 3 seconds to plug a deer, that is your prob. Too each is own.

Just found a white tail on our road this weekend that was dressed and then cleaned of the meat right there! The leftover parts were still there. They did a real nice job... Must have taken them sometime in the dark to do and get away with what they wanted? Unfreekin believable! I don't have a problem with hunting, just do it the right way and eff the poaching.

Too each is own. 129215[/snapback] Why stop with assault rifles? The 2nd amendment refers to the right to "bear arms" which at the time meant to own whatever weapons were technologically availble. What's wrong with citizens owning nukes? I certainly don't see a problem. That's what I love about America. You can walk down the street with a fully loaded mahine guy but you can't see boobs on TV.

If you outlaw plastic cups, only Pacers will have plastic cups. You can have my plastic cup when you pry it from my drunk, unconscious hands.

Satan Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Really? Where is that? 129349[/snapback] Cinemax, late night. Oh wait, you meant the "fully loaded mahine gun", didn't you? I'm sure Wham will fill us in any time now.
_BiB_ Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Really? Where is that? 129349[/snapback] Camden, NJ? And no, no one is taking away MY privately owned nuclear weapons.
DC Tom Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I've heard in a few places that the weapon used was a 7.62mm SKS assault rifle - a "common" hunting rifle. The only 7.62mm SKS I know if is a Russian WWII-vintage semi-automatic carbine...basically the equivalent of an M1 Garand carbine. Is there some other SKS I've never heard of? Or did this guy really go sniping with an antique that was in no way an assault rifle or a common hunting weapon?
