People don't use an AR-15 to hunt because of the number of rounds. It's because it's light and easy to modify. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2024 #9

So you are in favor of a 10-round limit. nt doc03 Sep 2024 #12

That would be reasonable /NT Abnredleg Sep 2024 #15

For a removable magazine? Yep. Happy Hoosier Sep 2024 #26

Absolutely not. sir pball Sep 2024 #54

Can you pls explain "easy to modify"? OneGrassRoot Sep 2024 #20

Sure. The parts of an AR are very easy to swap out for different ones, so depending on your shooting style, your build, WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2024 #23

Got it! Thx very much. n/t OneGrassRoot Sep 2024 #24

I'm curious. What can you hunt with an AR-15 that won't be pulverized and useless unless your purpose is just to kill? Lonestarblue Sep 2024 #8

A deer, with one or two shots. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2024 #11

I know people here in Texas who hunt deer every year during open season and freeze the meat. Lonestarblue Sep 2024 #13

"Plain old hunting rifles" can have much greater "firepower" than an AR. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2024 #17

Maybe they should outlaw hunting with a rifle. Like it is in Delaware. Bullets travel too far for our small state. Walleye Sep 2024 #78

What cartridge do they use? Happy Hoosier Sep 2024 #27
