(119 posts)Not too disrespect your grandfathers or uncles, but what makes them spokesmen for all hunters? Sissy's? Why should their opinions be more valuable than the thousands and perhaps millions of true hunters who effectively and legally use AR15 rifles for game animals?
Since military rifles such as bolt action types, who's basic design goes back to the Mauser brothers from the 1890's, were brought up, a very famous US Marine sniper named Carlos Hathcock and many other snipers used bolt action scoped rifles that are commonly used by normal hunters in present times.
These were basically scoped hunting rifles issued to Marines and Army GI's to use, perhaps they would be called Assault Rifles too.
Good grief, should we outlaw all vehicles that can exceed the speed limited because thousands of people die, including innocent children from accidents were speeding is involved? Only police and military should have them. Think how many lives would be saved. Please stop blaming the tool, blame the actions on the wrong doer.
