    I’d rather do that than arm people with assault rifles so they can live in remote rural areas where herds of feral pigs are an issue. Yes this is an actual argument people make in favor of keeping assault rifles legal. “What if I need to stop a stampede of 80 feral hogs? This is a weekly occurrence on my property.”

    Frankly, if feral hogs have you running scared, it’s not your property, it’s theirs.

      Would you like to be a moderate? I’ll propose giving the hogs the assault rifles and you’ll instantly become a moderate.

      humans have assault rifles <— no one has assault rifles —> hogs have assault rifles

      Edit: would arming both humans and hogs also be a good compromise?
