Gun Facts #10932

I don't know anyone who owns an "assault" rifle...I know a alot of people who own "Defense" rifles, though.

That is a semi-automatic rifle with a scope. It is used for hunting. If some douche bag uses it for an illegal purpose, how is it this guys fault? A truck is used for driving. If some douche bag uses it as a weapon or a bomb, how is that the truck's fault?

Your reading comp is poor and gun knowledge even worse dude: One, that's a M-24 308 rifle, a bolt action, and nothing but a Remington 700, the most popular hunting rifle in the US, probably the world. Two, applying reading comp and critical thinking; the meme exposes those who claim "hunting rifles" are not used for hunting people, and if you know who that is, he "hunted" more humans than single person in the US mil. Make sense now? Point is: Be is an "assault rifle" (put in quotes because the term itself also useless, but that's another topic...) or hunting rifle, humans always find a way to kill each other and it's the tool user, not the tool used, that matters.

You are correct that my gun knowledge is not strong. And I did not recognize the person in the meme. My reading comprehension, however, is good.

If you applied reading comp, you'd understand what it's saying: hunting rifles are used to "hunt" people all the time, and pushing differences between supposed hunting rifles and assault rifles and such is due those who support gun control having such a poor knowledge of guns, history, or stats.

Once again, without knowing who that is or what rifle that is, I did not come to that conclusion. But you can have the last word...

That is actually a bolt action hunting rifle.

Precisely...M-24 which is just a Remington 700 hunting rifle for which he holds the record using tghat rifle: 266 kills, 166 were officially confirmed.
