(6,335 posts)Almost nobody uses a semi-auto long rifle used for hunting when they are going into a "battle" situatation like this at very close range and double hand-holds. The AR-15 and similar guns were DESIGNED for close range battle situations. It performs as it should. THere is no reason to use it for hunting or any other use except for killing the maximum number of humans as quickly as possible.
The gun is also designed to sell to the person dreaming of being a Rambo. He has it just for fantasy sake. Killing large numbers of people. Hence the high sales in America.
I beleive they bought back and destroyed ALL semi's in Australia which is what they should do here too. Hunting with a bow and arrow should be the only legal hunting weapon in America. Give the poor deer a sporting chance. What good is it to go down and mow a herd at 100 yards. Thats sick too.
