If you are a "hunter" and you have to use an AR-15, you suck at hunting and need to stick to hunting in the butcher's market.
why do you put "hunter" in quote marks?
my husband tells me that an AR- (which is the company name Armorlite) 15 comes in many different calibers. He says it is a popular hunting weapon for the same reason it is a popular military weapon. it doesn't jam even when dirty and is reliable. Just what he said. I don't know personally, but I trust him on these issues. Personally think the key is in making sure magazines can't hold more than 10 shots. tighten up background checks, keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them and raise the age of purchase to 21.
then see what happens.
sometimes you need a scalpel to fix things and not a hatchet.
I put "hunter" in quotation marks because many people who say they are hunters, that have to use an AR-15 along with super expensive scopes and everything else, aren't really hunters. They have taken the nut out of the process, especially in this day and age where 99% of deer hunters aren't hunting because it is a necessity to feed their family.
you know, I don't approve of hunting. I wouldn't kill an animal. but my husband, who spent a good chunk of his life working with animals, loves to hunt. he only kills what he'll eat or give to food banks. he's not an a-hole who kills more than his tag and leave it. I don't like it. I don't get it. but he's responsible about it.
for the record, he doesn't use an AR-15 to hunt. but he understand that some people like it.
