Yes it is. Read any hunting magazine/article, watch a hunting show, look for rounds designed for small game, etc. and you’ll constantly see rats, hogs, coyotes, nutria rats, etc. referred to as “varmints”
This is something retarded rednecks say. It is not a technical word.

Varmint hunting is the practice of huntingvermin, generally small mammals targeted as a means of pest control, rather than for food. Varminter may refer to a varmint hunter, or describe hunting equipment either specifically designed for, or suitable for varmint hunting, such as a varmint rifle.”

I am more southern than anyone on this forum, have hunted my entire life, amd have never heard the term "varmint" used.

As they should.
It's a feel good red herring that just entrenches the opposition more against reforms that will actually change something.

Ban assault weapons and Parkland looks like VA tech or Columbine.

Get guns out of the wrong hands period.

Whatever you think we should do with pistols or other centerfire rifles with detachable magazines it what we should do with "assault weapons".

The things that work are things that everyone will agree on if there isn't the threat of banning.

Even Rand Paul, who is too libertarian for the NRA, supports enhanced background checks.
very few of the sales that take place at gun shows are person-to-person, they're almost all dealer sales and covered by the existing requirement to perform background checks. Have any mass killers used a straw purchase, or a personal sale, to acquire weapons without a background check? I don't recall any.

Give everyone a gun and leave the protection up to the citizen.

He posted some highly questionable sources and then blamed mainstream media for not covering the alleged instances.

Not surprising. I'm glad I didn't read the thread then lol.
I'm also glad the non-existent people were able to prevent Obama from taking their guns.

"Police are hunting for the suspect, whom they identified as Travis Reinking, 29, from Illinois."

Hopefully they're using bolt-action hunting rifles.

Or muskets.
