That’s a lie.
An amazing case for reducing gun ownership in America

You're going to hunt without killing? Is that a paintball model?
Actually, that gun is a military assault rifle manufactured specifically for the purpose of killing humans in war.
The manufacturer subsequently cynically marketed this assault rifle as a "sport weapon."
Do I have to teach you about guns now, too?

To kill as many humans as quickly and efficiently as possible. They aren't for hunting or protection, they are for ear.

Yes. Looks like you have been out in the sun too long.
In modern infantry tactics, as actually taught to actual infantrymen, it is not necessary to kill or wound all the enemy, it is only necessary to make him hide or run away. The full-auto military versions make noise and fire (and sometimes hit their targets) very effectively, and a determined modern sportsman can do almost as good a job of that in semi-auto (or, with bump stocks, in "slow-auto"). Infantry tactics since the time of the Romans come down to which side can deliver or stockpile the most ammunition at the highest rate.
This is diametrically opposed to the function of a hunter. Making his target run away or hide is the opposite of hunting, unless you are down at the town dump shooting in the general direction of rats.
Are you carrying proper protection into Wal*Mart now?
Assault rifles account for about 1% of all gun violence...I "carry" no more and no less "proper protection" into Wal Mart, Ralph's, Target or Home Depot.

How to Set Up an AR-15 for Hunting

Try Out This Rifle Hunting Option
As a rule, ARs are highly accurate, straight out of the box. They work just fine for a variety of hunting applications. (Russell Graves image)
The AR platform is becoming more and more common among hunters across the country. While the issue of limited caliber choice remains, the days of widespread calibers across the AR platform are near. If you’re looking for a fun and useful new rifle for the woods, then you should consider setting up an AR-15 for hunting.
The ease of customizing an AR is its greatest appeal. Not only can you easily add a bunch of accessories, you can also switch upper receivers to change the caliber. Actually, you can change and customize just about every part of an AR, including the handguard, trigger, grip, sights, magazine, stock and more. Once you have customized the necessary parts, you can start accessorizing with lights, optics, slings and more. These firearms are like Lego kits for adults.
The AR-10 is a larger version of the AR-15. It chambers .308-sized cartridges, and is much more suited to big-game hunting. (John Hafner image)
ARs can seem overwhelming to newcomers, though. There are lots of parts and some fancy terms. They don't look like a bolt-action rifle. But once you have a basic comprehension, it’s easy to start understanding what goes where and how you can customize that part. And once you understand that, you can start creating an AR that's perfect for your needs, whether they be hunting, recreational shooting, self-defense, or some combination of all three. Here is a breakdown of some of the major components of AR platform rifles.

By what measure?
The criminologist James Alan Fox at Northeastern University estimates that there have been an average of 100 victims killed each year in mass shootings over the past three decades. That’s less than 1 percent of gun homicide victims.
But these acts of violence in schools and movie theaters have come to define the problem of gun violence in America.
Most Americans do not know that gun homicides have decreased by 49 percent since 1993 as violent crime also fell, though rates of gun homicide in the United States are still much higher than those in other developed nations. A Pew survey conducted after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., found that 56 percent of Americans believed wrongly that the rate of gun crime was higher than it was 20 years ago.
