So THAT'S why we need AR-15s!

[AngryOldDem]

To kill feral pigs. Thanks, Bill Cassidy, R-LA, for clearing that up!

Per Vice News clip on Morning Joe.

These fuckers know no shame. They need to be dogged with questions every single day, every single time they dare show their faces. They’re revealing who and what they are, and I’m starting to get the sense people are finally sick and tired of it.

Ted Cruz running away after a poor and sad attempt to deflect the British reporter’s on-point questions shows everyone for who and what these people are. Feckless, soulless, craven cowards.

1. I guess they need body armor in case the pigs break through the hail of bullets being fired at them

too.

2. just because john kennedy is a rabid refugee from green acres

don't mistake my other senator, cassidy, for a sane, normal human.

7. I thought you were going to say.....

...it doesn't mean anyone has a right to shoot him with an AR-15......

I mean, if they're using AR-15s to shoot *feral pigs*, he would definitely be in danger....!

3. Their whole motivation is collecting money from the gun lobby!

4. How the heck do feral pigs get into schools? nt

5. Gop fundraiser?

8. Never mind that--how do they get elected to Congress??

6. "People are finally sick and tired of it"

Maybe. But the whole question is, will enough of them bother to get off their ass and vote?

Reality is that all the recent Democrat and Republican Administrations are minority rule. Last couple of decades it's 25-30 percent of the voting public electing one party or the other, while the rest of the mush-brained Americans sit on the sidelines and watch.

50% of the voting populace didn't cast a ballot in 2016. Our democracy does not work if people do not participate. All the words in the world are not going to fix that, as far as I can see.

11. Make them earn that Donor blood money!

12. 5 people in US history ever killed by wild hogs

how many killed in mass shootings?

[Traildogbob]

13. Here's an idea

All guns should be shaped like and penis and pink. Needle dick white men get the guns God gave them the right to have AND have a big dick.

14. By feral pigs, does he mean Abbott and Cruz?

Just askin'

15. I agree that feral pigs are a HUGE problem in that area

So how about this: We have this big buyback and purchase all the AR-15s from their current owners. After we're done, we send a bunch of Army unit supply people - all of whom are trained as unit armorers - down there to inspect all the guns we bought. They make three stacks: ones that are safe and functional, ones that can be repaired and ones that can't be made safe. The ones that can't be made safe get shredded. The ones that can be repaired will be repaired. Once that's done, we build these big warehouses with rifle racks to hold all the guns. Anyone who wants to hunt feral pigs can go through a background check, go to a school, fire an Army qualification target, and then receive a weapons card that allows them to take out an AR-15 for pig hunting. You'll record your sight settings during pig hunting school and dial them in when you check out a gun, and you can keep it overnight Monday through Thursday or over the weekend if you draw one on Friday. No more AR-15s can be sold to the public after that date. This way, mass shooters don't have access to these things and hunters can shoot all the feral pigs they want.

This would democratize the process of pig elimination. Right now, the only people who can hunt feral pigs with an AR-15 are those who can afford an AR-15 and who choose to spend the $800 to $2000 one costs on an AR-15 instead of a new refrigerator. But with public AR-15 libraries accessible to all with a hunting license, ANYONE who can afford a hunting license (which is a hell of a lot cheaper than a gun) can hunt feral pigs.

16. An AR-15 would not be my choice

to hunt feral hogs. It's meant for shorter range indoor warfare.

They continue to perpetuate the myth that this is a good hunting rifle.

17. Bill Cassidy

Was one of the few GOP politicians that voted to impeach Trump, and was censured by the party...on the other hand he said that without black mortality, LA would be well off.

So there's that.
