Facebook Ammunition for your Anti "Friends"

Oh, and I don't do Facebook. I had an account for awhile, but realized that I was the product, not the user.

Interesting observation, but the same is true of TV, movies, and even using Google to perform a web search.

Facebook provides a useful service to me, so I don't mind if it also serves up ads (which I can either block or just ignore).
 
"Oh, and I don't do Facebook. I had an account for awhile, but realized that I was the product, not the user."

Perfect summarization.

And don't forget about the facial recognition cameras facebook is now placing at certain retailers. It's called FaceDeals. And it tracks you, in the real world.

Sorry but I have seen too many traitors with NRA lifetime memberships will to sell those who are handgun or EBR shooters down the river to really care about insulting them. If people want to complain at our needing to stand together then start with those pompous turncoats. Stop helping the enemy!

Whenever some piece of repulsive anti 2A legislating control of EBRs or handguns comes out the anti movement and major media trots a couple of these weekend duck/deer hunters out to talk about how nobody needs this gun, that magazine or to carry here or there.

Now if some think I used the term Fudd as derogatory towards older shooters I apologize. Although only 42 now (and an NRA life member) I see "maturity" fast approaching and had no intention of slighting anyone based on their age alone. My understanding of the term was in reference to a shooter who willingly tosses those who shoot EBRs, handguns and other "non-sporting" arms under the political bus. I will properly define them as "traitorous, selfish, short sighted nincompoops" in the future.

Can you point to individuals or groups who have actually done that?

If someone's worse crime is not being active enough in fighting certain restrictions, then that would include most of the gun culture as a whole.

I've heard folks say, "well, I don't know why I'd need an AK-47 to hunt deer," but I've never heard them say "and I'm going to the ballot box to make sure they don't have the right to do so."

I always thought of Fudds as the type of gunowner who are ready and willing to throw those of us who enjoy EBR's, handguns, and whatever else they don't have an interest in under the bus so long as their precious deer rifles and trap guns are left alone.

I started hearing the term in the late 1990's, when one segment of the gun culture claimed that a bunch of sporting shooters had somehow "thrown us under the bus" by not being vocal enough in opposition of the AWB.

While it's true that there are some in the culture who see no need for high-capacity magazines and such, I can't see how they threw anybody under the wheels of any mode of public transportation, metaphorical or not.

In all truth, the same guys griping about the "Fudds" were the ones cackling while they sold off 30-round AK-47 magazines for $100 bucks at gun shows during the ban.

The most ironic part? Those "Fudds" were lifetime NRA members, and many were quite active in the community, while the ankle-biters couldn't be troubled to do anything but write angry missives on rec.guns. I know, because I was there.

The term "Fudd" is inaccurate, unfair, and in my opinion, it qualifies as a cheap shot and a counterproductive stereotype.

When I use the term Fudd, I'm not talking about people who "aren't vocal enough" in opposition to gun control laws or even people who aren't vocal at all, what I'm talking about is people who actively support gun control and/or continue to support politicians who push for gun control so long as their own "sporting" guns aren't threatened.

A prime example of this was Jim Zumbo with his infamous comments about how sportsmen should "divorce" themselves from "terrorist" weapons and that such weapons should be banned for hunting. Now, to be fair to Mr. Zumbo, he later reversed his position, opposed renewal of the AWB, and has done good work since, so I think of him as an "ex-Fudd".

I also personally know several Fudds including members of my own family. Some of these people own and enjoy firearms, but they must rationalize blindly voting for some of the most anti-gun politicians simply because of the letter next to their names by telling themselves that "no one really needs an assault weapon." Still others have an interest in shooting, but they grew up in such an anti-gun culture that they will only consider "sporting" firearms lest they be labeled a "gun-nut" by their peer group.

I agree that it's a big tent and that there's room for everybody. However, I take exception to those who want to label me as a "nut," "loon," "extremist," or "paranoid" just because the guns I'm interested in are not the same as what they are interested in. If someone likes deer rifles and trap guns but has no interest in EBR's or handguns, I don't have a problem with that. However, I do have a problem when they decide that their deer rifles and trap guns are the only ones that should be legal.
 
At this point, Hunters for Gun Control isn't much more than a slogan printed out on a dot-matrix printer. But what Hunters for Gun Control lacks in membership, it makes up for in concept.

Concept wasn't enough for them, and the group was folded into the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), which is staffed and run by Joyce foundation plants. In fact, they share a building with the Democrat Leadership Council and a PR firm known as DCS. DCS was originally run by John Rosenthal, founder of Stop Handgun Violence.

It's called a false flag operation. It was an ineffective tactic in the early 2000's that they're trying to use again now.

Beat me to it, and for the record, I no longer apply the term to Mr. Zumbo even as an ex. Just a convert that is now helping us. But I had an acquaintence at work that was a true prize. His attitude was completely As long as they don't touch my deer rifles, I don't give a ___! During our conversations, when I preached to him about creeping incrementalism, giving an inch-they'll take a mile and such, he thought he would go tough guy on me and try to intimidate me to shut up. Well, you can imagine that I more than once told him his breathing problems were from the location of his head, and we never did see eye to eye, even after inviting him to the range to shoot my guns. Probably thought he might like it and have to admit something he didn't want, or the union wouldn't approve. There are definitely "Fudds" out there, even now.

Where I grew up and when I grew up the state allowed feeding of the deer except for two weeks prior to deer season for your given chosen arm. Outside of that the farmers and the community as a whole fed the deer. Much of the effort was through the winter and it really helped the animals, very few starvation deaths found in fields.

In recent years the tree huggers got the law changed and now disposing of old hay is a problem because you cant burn it (air pollution) and you cant turn it into compost (considered feeding the deer regardless of heavy mold or other conditions) because regardless of your situation its not allowed and the fines are very heavy. This feeding ban is year round...

The result is anything but kind to the animals or the communities... Previously we had people employed and money flowing from hunters who culled the herd and brought much money to the community. Now we have hundreds and thousands of starved deer... I wish the tree huggers would see the deer that are starving to death because they thought they knew better... It can take more than a month for a given deer to die, so much for being humane...

Bullets on the other hand kill quite efficiently and even wounded animals tend not to last a month and wounded animals really were never all that common... not that they dont happen... This is what an ideal that has no science and no fact behind it brought to our community... Loss of jobs and long suffering animals..
