If you read the comments, he hasn't been getting a lot of warm fuzzies.

Cliniki says: "This wos a 5.5mm, 1 gram, 40J Hatsan. Now I use PCP with 3,3gram (51grain) and a little mor energy than the Hatsan." Bring on the Cape Buffalo and Rhinos.

This is exactly the kind of Moron who gives air gunners a bad name.Videos like this are part of the reason why uninformed Legislators propose laws,and restrictions that hurt the decent air gunners out there.It just puts a bad taste in people's mouths about the air gun sport. Yikes!

Reminds me of a couple idiots that got busted for killing a deer with a BB gun around here. The forest preserve officers that caught them said the deer was shot well over 100 times (they had it cornered).

here goes the platform for "airgun" gun control.

i'm not against sound logical guncontrol...... Cool

based on this as any gamo ad....I HATE IGNORANT IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE THAT RUIN EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE!@#$%%$!!! Faq-U

to educate people on the reality of guns, "sport", is a more valuble tool than the current ANTI-GUN media will ever portray. therefore it will never happen. Rolling Eyes Faq-U

i gotta say. irresponsiblility... we all pay.... guns are guns....if you put them into the hands of idiots the results are the same...
regardless of the caliber. Rolling Eyes

12fpe springer/.50BMG. same thing. responsiblility is responsiblility.
nuff said. Cool i'll let this go cuz, i think i'm getting "started" again. Rolling Eyes

more from fritz later....

I had to look up the specific airgun this dude was using to figure out what all the uproar was about.

I agree...he is a real numskull! The use of a .22LR in the slaughter of pigs in a very controlled environment (slaughterhouse) with very very good shot placement is not unusual. A .22 airgun projectile though is much lighter, has much less energy, and using one on any animal much larger than a Jackrabbit is just plain stupid...in fact I would hesitate to use one on a jackrabbit.

Yep, it is idiots that drive much of the legislation in the US...idiots who just always pull stupid stunts and other idiots who have the $$$ to get elected. (Pelosi, Reed, Frank, Boxer...etc)

mark5043 is RIGHT ON TARGET!

while it's true there are too many, shall we say, "not too responsible" persons out there with arms of all sorts available to them, not all should be punished for what a few do. Crying or Very sad

to intimate that legislators like reid, pelosi etc are in the class of morons, is to give morons a bad name... Wink

Donwalk. I suppose there is a hierarchy of stupidity...

Because of irresponsibility in a select few (idiots, although they often seem like the majority) the higher up idiots feel the need to protect the stupid, so they themselves can live. It's reversing the millions of years natural selection has taken. We have plenty of laws keeping (not always) law abiding, moral citizens from bearing arms and defending themselves and their freedom. I'll keep my freedom, you can keep the "Change".

Don't get me started on the medical world...

Hmm, too bad the shoe couldn't be on the other foot there. . . Newspaper headline. "Two idiot cornered by angy Buck. Both men in critical condition after goring"

Sorry. . . I just think it's wrong.

Per the "Gamo PBA" references, yep ever since I saw that video of the "pig killing" I've felt offended by the inept person who signed off on that advertising campaign.

Keep in mind, that the fellow who posted the vid, English isn't that person's native tongue, kinda obvious.

wow,

all the arguments you make regarding "uninformed politicians" is correct, and can also be applied to their knowledge of firearms too.

The common denominator threatening both hobbies (air-guns and firearms) is the politician....too bad we can't ban them.
