I get what you are saying, and I could understand it being applied for pistols (though I don't agree), but not rifles. The long guns often brought up are not the best weapons for hunting or home defense.
I know numerous people who use AR15's to hunt, especially coyotes. Varmint control is just as important as hunting to cull numbers in some areas. Besides, what firearm is "the best" or "better" for hunting is the source of endless arguments to which there is no consensus.
