Gun Control

Just imagine hunting wild boar back in the Middle Ages. Instead of a standoff weapon, you've got a sharp stick, or a pike, or bow. That's not an animal I'd want furious with me with one of those weapons in hand.

Even harder to imagine that neolithic humans managed to hunt giant bear, saber-tooth tigers, mammoths and mastodons to extinction by getting close enough to stab them,

And that's what the hand gun is for, yes? As you said before, it'll stop a hog (or bear), and the rounds are cheaper than your AR.

Handgun is very handy in brush. If I need to take an up close follow up shot to finish a wounded or charging animal that would be my preferred gun more than likely. A rifle being longer makes them less maneuverable in dense brush/close distances. And my rifles all have slings so they are free floating/hands free. Also useful if you have a jam/malfunction. But yes. Miss me with that. A lot of guys hunt hogs with spears and drop them from an above tree or on foot.  Some guys even do dog guided knife hunts. Seems a bit savage to me and dangerous for that matter.

Could easily be doctored. Increasingly hard to tell.

But if you Google "Open Carry Photos" you'll get plenty that aren't.

Same energy as the people who strap AR-15's onto all of their bridesmaids/groomsmen, because nothing signifies marriage, health, and a lasting relationship like enough weapons to take on a small militia.

i remember Manute Bol saying he killed a lion with a spear when he was herding cattle as a kid.

It’s hard to imagine humans hunted them into extinction because humans didn’t actually hunt saber tooth tigers and mammoths into extinction.
