(15,374 posts)87. Who's using "assault rifles" for hunting?
Last edited Mon Jul 9, 2012, 11:20 AM - Edit history (1)
I've used an AR-15-pattern rifle for small game. It only shoots one round at a time.
There are a few semi-auto handguns you could hunt with, but most hand-gun hunting is done with specialized revolvers. I don't know of any "automatic hand guns" suitable for hunting; all the ones I know of use much to small a round and are not particularly accurate.

Problem is: It ONLY takes one. e.g. Look at the chain-reaction that George Zimmerman set off.

Most intelligent people don't carry guns because they know the odds are so low of a situation.

Sounds to me he has grown up. Or, has always had a mature attitude toward the dang things.

Before Zimmy shot unarmed teen, he was just like you guys -- supposedly a "law abiding" gun carrier.

Why are so many posters voting for #2. Aren't all gun owners supposed to be right-wing nuts?
