    Look, gun politics aside, there is a legitimate reason to have more than one hunting rifle.

    30-06 is great for hunting deer, but would be an extremely poor choice for hunting squirrels and raccoons, considering that there would be very little edible material left.

        Tough shit. Learn to bow hunt.

        You realize that’s like trying to tell someone to pick up their newly purchased big ticket item from the store using a bicycle, right?

        I get you’re trying to limit the use of guns by limiting the availability of guns and their ammo, but where you drew the line is too extrene/limiting.

        At that point you might as well just be honest about it and try to make guns illegal.

          Nope. Take it or leave it. I’d even consider allowing multi hunting weapons, eg: shot gun season.

          But, only one long gun in the home at a time. The other must be stored at an official gun locker place, eg: police station, gun club, gun sales store, armory… Finger print ID to swap out which long gun you want.

            Just repeating myself at this point, but …

            At that point you might as well just be honest about it and try to make guns illegal.

            And for the record, I am pro gun control, but what you’re advocating is too extreme to be practical and workable.
