I have provided the arguement before. The purpose behind a high-powered weapon is the same as a high-powered car. Folks want things they want. If you operate either as they were designed to be laws can be broken and folks can be killed

You do realize that the term "assault rifle" was something made up by the media? Big bad scary black gun was too racist sounding for them. There is no such thing as an "assault rifle". There are battle rifles, such as the M16 and M4, and there are sporting rifles such as the AR15. The purpose of a sporting rifle, is just that, sport. Be it competition shooting events like 3 gun or hunting. The purpose of a battle rifle is to be carried into battle.

I don't know, killing a bunch of kids sounds like assault to me. Hand guns, hunting rifles, got no problem with them. Do sportsman really need 22 round clips? As far as hunting goes, never really been impressed with hiding in a tree covered in piss or hormones with a high powered rifle with a telescope on it and picking off deer down below for the sport of it. Do4sn't strike me as all that sporting. You wanna impress me? Walk out into the woods and wrestle with one and bring him home. Bow hunting is different. Do people really hunt with AR 15's? They aren't about sport. They're about the powerful feeling of putting big holes in things. I said in the beginning that the lawsuit is a waste because the law is what it is, btw. I'm no liberal wanting to take people's guns away but I do think there are limits and imo, an AR 15 is over the limit.

I never understood folks that used any semi-auto, let alone something like an AR-15, for hunting.

Let me give you 200 rounds of ammo and 2 five round magazines to practice at the range with, then you can get back with me. Stopping every 5 rounds would not help train muscle memory very well. The more shots in a row, the easier to gain proficiency. Also.... go on a hog hunt with 5 rounds. ...lol

The thing u guys dont realize about why the AR platform is so popular is because it's modular. With one gun i can shoot multiple calibers and have a nearly unlimited number of accessory options for a variety of purposespurposes for a fraction of the cost of buying separate gunsguns for each purpose. Imagine with just a few parts change you could have a Prius, mini van, pickup truck and sports car all in one. Lets not forget that in 2013 knives were used to kill 5x more people than all types of rifles combined. Are we going to start banning "assault knives" next?
