I like the Second Amendment because:

1.  It assures a means of resistance of a government that becomes despotic.
2.  It provides a means to defend your home or yourself against murderous thugs or home invasion.
3.  It allows you to enjoy target practice, shooting matches, hunting, and gun collecting.
4.  And additionally it helps drive Liberal nuts, as well provides a large pool of citizens who are capable of resisting a foreign invasion (militias).

Proposing a working definition of the concept of "sport" as a competition in which there are clearly understood and refereed/umpired rules. All of the competitors are aware of these rules. 

So, a person hops up into some "wild" area, and takes a pot shot at, say, a stag, a pheasant, an elephant or whatever. Their possibly "hi tech" weapon has a muzzle velocity of in excess of 330 metres per second (ie it is supersonic and weighs a bit). They kill the animal.
Then they, presumably, recycle the meat, and keep the skin etc as a trophy. 
Possibly, as the Spaniards do, it seems, in bull fighting, giving the animal a "posthumous back handed compliment" of saying to it "you were a good fighter ... not that you were aware that you were actually IN a fight ... " by making a wine called "Bull's blood" (sign of virility/fertility, maybe).

Ah, I've got the possible argument. The animal is not a competitor. It's the football. Or the baseball. 
The competitors are the other "hunters" to see who bags the biggest tropy. 

What, though, if the "hunter" went into this "wild" area but this time with a camera ? Still get SOME trophies, although not the stuffed animal ... that would survive for ... the wild ...

where are the Ozarks ?

radar · Answer

The Ozarks or Ozark Mountains are located in the midwestern U.S. (actually "hilly" may be a more accurate description when compared to the Rocky mountains) in the states of Missouri and Arkansas.  I am in the area located in Missouri near Tom Sauk Mountain.
