Any Hunters Own Semi-Autos? Better Read This...

MDHunter · Jan 21, 2013

I've learned over the years that not everyone who hunts in Maryland is aware of, or involved in, the continuous battle we face in Maryland to preserve our 2nd Amendment right. If you're not aware of what's going on at the state legislative level, read the letter below I received today, in response to my letter opposing the pending Assault Weapons Ban in Maryland:

Dear Mr. XXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting Senator Ron Young’s office regarding your position on gun control laws. He recognizes the seriousness of this issue and the impact it is having on our local community, as well as our nation.

Senator Young believes very strongly that private citizens should be prohibited from possessing automatic and semi-automatic weapons. Additionally, the Senator feels that gun shows as well as retail outlets that sell firearms should be held to the same strict criteria regarding to whom these weapons may be sold.

I will make sure Senator Young receives a copy of your email so he can review your comments firsthand.

Again, thank you for taking the time to share your views regarding this grave issue facing our nation.

Best Regards,

Caitlin Dunn
Constituent Aide
Senator Ronald Young
District 3, Frederick and Washington Counties

If you're not already engaged in the fight to preserve our 2A rights, come on over to the "Maryland 2A Issues" Forum, read up, and join the ranks. We can use all the help we can get.

If you've never written or contacted your representatives before, there are helpful threads on the Forum to help you get started. Or shoot me a PM, I'm happy to help anyone who wants to get involved.

It's now or never in Maryland, guys and gals - we've never faced the assault on our rights that we're gonna face this year.

Wow, last time I checked I thought elected officials were supposed to 'represent' the wants and needs of the people and not what they believe. What a effin crock.

And this idiot represents Washington and Frederick Counties?

Eviedntly, he represents the good citizens of Washington and Frederick counties who do NOT own a semi-aitomatic weapon (or those who believe that law-abiding citizens have the right to do so).

Just sent a copy to my State Senator who is very pro-gun... and always returns emails promptly...

foxtrapper · Jan 21, 2013

Sounds like he thinks he represents Fudds and criminals to me. People in his district need to bombard him with facts and tell him they don't go for that anti gun crap.

Mooseman · Jan 21, 2013

He wants to take my 10/22 squirrel gun? Really?

That's what it sounds like to me, as well as your duck/goose gun as well if you prefer a semi-auto for that.

C'mon Moose, it's for the children. We should all get on board. :sad20:

I don't care for either him or his son. Blaines making sure we have no land to hunt on with shameless urban sprawl, Rons making sure we have no funds from the Pittman-Robertson act to finance any decent programs, or apparently guns to hunt with.

Isn't he Blaine Youngs dad?

I could be wrong, but I didn't think so. But, I also haven't looked into it. He was the Mayor of Frederick, many years ago.

WeaponsCollector · Jan 21, 2013

Hunters need to understand that politicians can call their hunting rifles "Deadly Sniper Guns" just as easily as they call semi-automatic rifles "Assault Rifles" and they can ban hunting rifles too.
Remember, most hunting rifles shoot a much more powerful cartridge than the AR-15 does and they are able to kill at even greater distances!
They will bring that fact up as soon as they ban AR-15's.

It absolutely is Blaine's dad.

The word "Fudd" or "Fudds" is tossed around a lot on here. So I looked it up and found this definition.

Fudd

A slur against "casual" and/or non-militant gun owners, employed by pro-gun extremists. Derived from the Warner Bros. cartoon character, Elmer Fudd, it implies that anyone who does not carry an assault weapon, militarize their hunting & shooting practice, belong to a militia, and/or advocate for the same with fanatical zeal, is somehow stupid, incompetent with their weapon, and out of touch. Essentially, this allows the extremists to marginalize and discount any gun user who isn't crazy.

Interesting huh? If us Fudds aren't going to help you support the 2A. You are in deep Kakaa...

Here's another good point. These officials/representatives are voting on feelings and emotions, abandoning the laws of the land. They're so capricious!
They're nothing like the Founders of this country.

That sounds like it was written on purpose to be divisive.. maybe even by an anti.

I think those who actually use the term would define it as something like:

A person who owns only firearms commonly viewed as used for hunting, and is either unconcerned about or actively supports legislation to ban handguns and/or modern sporting rifles, commonly referred to as 'scary assault weapons'.

or in short form,

Long as I get to keep mine, you can take all the rest.

As illustrated by the above letter... after assault rifles come all other semi-autos... then the lever-actions and revolvers and bolts higher than single-shot... then all the rest.

Mr "I own two shotguns" Biden would qualify as a Fudd.

Kimerazor · Jan 21, 2013

Please don't use the term "Fudd". We need everyone on our side and do t need to divide the gun community.

I'm forwarding the Senator's letter to my elected officials.

Speaking of terms we should be using, "elected official" & "politician" should be out... "EMPLOYEE" should be used
