(14,157 posts)I carried assault weapons and handguns/firearms, etc for 26 years in the military. Almost every duty day. I don't own one now. People, just need to say "no" to guns. Be not afraid.

(67,111 posts)I really hate the place, it's like a museum of death, all of the dead animals mounted all over the place. I would rather be around living things than all of the animals killed by humans for sport and $$$$$ for Cabela's .

(25 posts)I hate Cabella's, and hate even more the fact that they are "consumerising" and promoting as entertainment the death of humans and beautiful wild animals.
Its the very definition of evil, and yet it is now entertainment?
