Great idea for a thread!
I always stress that guns are tools and, like any tool, you need the right tool for the job.
For example:
If this is the job:
This is the wrong screwdriver:
You need the right tool for the job. So when it comes to guns, what do you want to do?
Hunt? What sort of game? Pests? Small game? Large game? Birds? Are you hunting for food or pest elimination?
Home defense?
Concealed carry?
These are all vastly different categories and have different positives and negatives.
If Woodsy Owl and Smokey Bear teamed up, they would be unstoppable.
There was a quickplay where someone figured out how to beat the game in something crazy like 10 or 12 minutes.
I mean in the actual article, you would have thought one of the professionals would have dropped it. 😉
Nobody is going to drop the quote from Orwell's 1984? (sigh) I guess it's true, people HAVE stopped reading. 😞

There's a documentary about it:
There was even a sequel:
We've all seen how Costco, Target, and Walmart have eliminated their Xbox sections, looks like Best Buy is not far behind...
I saw this tonight at the local Fred Meyer store (now owned by Kroger).
I have 2 shotguns, a Mossberg Shockwave 12 gauge, and a Henry .410.
A lot of people will tell you a .410 isn't as useful, but it all depends on what you load it with. 😉
For example, I'm set up with these:
Each trigger pull sends a slug and 2 ball bearings. So a gun that holds 5+1 rounds actually has 18 projectiles in it.
OTOH - The Shockwave goes "CLICK-CLACK!" and the sound alone could make an intruder shit themselves. Super satisfying on your end, super scary on the other end.
