To address this twit's second point, having access to and knowing how to use guns didn't do squat for the dead hunters because THEY WEREN"T CARRYING THEIR GUNS (except one guy). If the hunters had all been armed, Vang would have had a very short and exciting life once he started shooting.
Point 2A:
And, if the hunters had been armed, it still is problimatical how it would turn out, as beeing experienced at HUNTING usage is no guarantee one is prepped and trained for self defensive firearms usage.
It seems all were shot either standing, sitting on an ATV, or running away. In any case, all were presenting good targets. NOT a criticism of the victims, just an observation of circumstances.
As to the twit's dreaded "high powered semi-auto", for the first six AIMED rounds, my much higher powered, short-throw lever action is just as quick (and more immediately deadly) as a civilian semi. I do take longer to reload.

...what the twit is really arguing for without knowing it is
a nationwide carry permit to insure all the lawful folks can carry anwhere , any time.
A .22 in the pocket is better than a .45 in the drawer at home.
