Didn't miss the point. The point wasn't about the law part of the post, that was a theoretical to level the playing field. I just found that portion of it humorous at the time.
The point was that more practice and familiarity with your firearm = better success. Nothing loony there. That has and always will be the case. Likely every living, breathing creature on the North American continent has been dispatched with an '06. Before that, it would be a safe bet that the same has been done with the 30-30, 22 LR, and if you were patient enough to research it, dozens of other cartridges as well. 8000 years before that, every creature on the continent was dispatched with a pointy rock lashed to a stick. Even then, some used different purpose shaped rocks, shorter and longer sticks, bows, spears, atlatls, etc. So the point really is that whatever shape or form the tool of choice is, it is most effective in the hands of one who practices with it, is familiar with it's abilities and limitations, is cognizant of the quarry and environmental variables involved. Loonyism is a lot more deeply ingrained than the 30-06, and the last generation or two, as is the over-arching point about practice and familiarity with your tool of choice.
