Okay. Who’s the asshole who loaded up this retarded ELIZA-chatbot program anyway?
Wow. We’re pitching you softballs and not only are you swinging and missing, you’re not even in the batter’s box. In fact you seem to be in the parking lot.
Let me give you a hint: if he’d killed the pig with a hammer, we’d still have the same problem. Normal people don’t just kill random animals they find by the side of the road, especially domesticated animals. “I saw the pig there, I didn’t see anyone else around, so I shot it” is not the thought process of a responsible gun owner (or responsible person in general).
That we kill and eat other pigs is entirely irrelevant. We are not starting a “Save The Pigs” movement (well, not in this thread anyway). It’s about the person’s cluelessness about the appropriate response when faced with a random pig. And now it’s about yours as well.
This particular pig, what was his breed domesticated for?
What! What? You’re so stupid you don’t even know the four prime directives of responsible gun ownership? What a moron!
Sheesh! Everyone knows that a responsible gun owner never, ever points his or her weapon at something they don’t intend to shoot. Never, ever even for a moment.
You don’t need regulations for gun safety. There are four simple rules that take care of everything.
Chorus-line dancing. What difference does it make? It wasn’t a wild animal, it wasn’t his and it wasn’t threatening anyone. Of all your dead-end arguments this may be the most deadest. If you had the least sense of self-awareness you’d understand that someone who’d GRAB HIS GUN right off the bat and shoot a living thing that wasn’t his property is exactly the sort of idiot you’d want to distance yourself from. But no, you’re defending him, because you and he are of like minds. Like, not very good ones.
Hell, that’s four less than to date John Ritter’s daughter.
OK, so were in agreement. Train the guys to better follow the safety rules, but no new laws are necessary. You have come a long way Hentor.
OK, well I did just check and South Carolina does have a feral pig problem and hunters are allowed to pretty much shoot them on sight. See:

And I suspect you city boys to cry that this was a domestic pig, but as I already cited from wiki, you let a domestic pig loose and he turns feral.
Winning!
Immediately. Like the moment you drive a new car off the dealer’s lot.
Hey, that’s a good one!
In South Carolina are you legally required to shout “He’s coming right for us!” before you shoot something, or is that just a Colorado thing?
Only if you are a “city boy”.
As long as I don’t have to squeal like a pig.
Well, do you have a real purdy mouth?
Seems like the term is being used in at least one of its commonly understood meanings.
Yes, but there is little to make fun of when some guy kills his kid on purpose. Its simply tragedy and if we want to have a thread with all the tragic gun deaths every day then we would get about 2500 posts a month with no commentary whatsoever.
Around here you have to scream, look he’s got a gun… then you put a hi point in the pig’s mouth after you shoot it.
I never said that “gun grabber” was not commonly understood. It is. It is a term commonly used by folks that have put little thought into a complex situation, and reduce any attempt at harm reduction to the simple phrase “GUN GRABBER!”
It is a tip-off that the person in question cannot engage in thoughtful dialogue, and is one of those types that froth at the mouth on streetcorners. Note that this does not include you - I am contrasting your more reasoned discourse with others who post here.
And THAT is the major tragedy. There are an astounding number of gun accidents, injuries, homicides, and suicides. It’s a symptom of the country’s historical (and almost pathological IMHO) attachment to objects designed to kill.
Agreed! Mandatory, extensive, difficult, periodic and legally required training would go a long way to reducing gun deaths. At a minimum, it would filter out all the gun yahoos who aren’t responsible enough to own a gun in the first place. And regular training would ensure that gun owners are more likely to act responsibly.
Yeah, and lets do so of every child in America, in public schools.
They don’t listen in history class, they don’t listen in math class, but you think they will listen in gun safety class. Right. Sure thing.
