Can't have chocolate due to my diet.

Boy, that escalated quickly. It's not his fault your possibly fictional uncle's too proud for welfare (which really kind of invalidates your argument that he's too poor for anything).

You sneak up and hit the deer on the head.


A .22lr round can kill a deer, but it's not legal to use one for deer hunting in a lot of states. Since it is a low power round compared to most legal deer rounds, it would have to be a great shot (such as hitting it in the head or in the heart), otherwise you could end up with the deer dying a slow death, or surviving with an injury. However, .22lr is a great round for small game such as squirrels, rabbits, woodchucks, etc.
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

Any accident you can walk away from is one I can laugh at.

Besides, you overestimate how expensive ammunition is, underestimate how widespread firearms are (families in rural areas have plenty from/with relatives that cost is negligible factor), and basically have no idea about the economics of hunting.

Aside from your capitalized letters, you're entirely unequipped to discuss this.


Wrong on all counts. .22LR is cheap, but it's not THAT cheap. Buy some fucking instant ramen or a bag of rice instead.
Furthermore, are you honestly suggesting that this hypothetical nonexistent family has relatives who are willing to just give them guns, but refuse to help them feed their children? Because the technical term for that is "bullshit".

Also: I hunt deer. It's not a walk in the park. You sit there for a long time, hope they come by your position, hope they don't catch wind of you, hope they don't get spooked, hope they move within range, hope you get a clear shot... there's a lot of hoping and wishing that goes on. Hunting just isn't that reliable, even with modern weapons. It's why we as a species began farming.

What the swag did you just fucking yolo about me, you little wayne? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the SwagFags, and I’ve been involved in numerous Obey Records , and I have over 300 confirmed Swaggers. I am trained in wearing snapbacks and I’m the top poser in the entire Swagfag Army. You are nothing to me but just another No swag. I will swag you the fuck out with swagger the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking hashtags. You think you can get away with not taking pictures in the mirror over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my mom, she has alot of swag, and your ratchet ass is being traced right now so you better prepare for the yolo, nikka. The yolo that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your swag. You’re fucking dead, nikka. I can swag anywhere, anytime, and I can swag in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my baggy skinny jeans. Not only am I extensively trained in having plugs and snake bites, but I have access to the entire Hollister store. and I will use it to its full swaggness to wipe your miserable swag off the face of tumblr, you little Non trend follower. I will swag yolo all over you and you will swag in it. You’re fucking dead, nikka.
