I know a couple dozen hunters and not one hunts with an AR-15. Not animals anyway.

I think he is referring to big game but sounds like you can use it for normal hunting as well.

Kind of a good watch my gun knowledge is limited to video games.


Call me crazy but when i see/hear stories of grade school children getting torn up and the wake of devastation it leaves, i have a knee jerk reaction to band anything and anyone who caused such immense pain.

I also believe even with my limited knowledge the AR 15 certainly helped increase the body counts in these shootings.

Just something has to be done to stop this. It boils down in my mind to the amount guns out there and the lack of mental health care in this country.

We agree but the gun nuts won't allow any change. As we speak there are States relaxing gun regulations......actually making it easier not harder to buy guns. No Child should have to go to school under arm guard but that is the answer from the gun lobby more guns. Their answer to everything is more guns.

This is the kind of ignorance that plagues this great nation. Just because in your small circle, no one uses an AR 15 to hunt, does not mean that AR 15s are not used to hunt - animals.

Just so you know, a bear does shit in the woods too.
