I'll give you that to a point. I can buy several semi-auto hunting rifles built by the likes of browning, winchester, remington. All in larger caliber than the ar-15 and knockoffs. In Montana, and most terrain in the mountainous western USA, longer shots are the norm. If you are lucky you may get 3-4 shots at 300 yds before the elk are in the trees. Which is why 7mm, 300 win. magnums are preferred calibers as the .223 don't cut the mustard.

I am NOT for gun control, but the argument of 30 round clips for hunting makes no sense to me when better platforms are available.

Same for auto-loading pistols, my 45 acp only has an 8 round mag, which seems plenty for me.

High capacity weapons have been a trademark of these nuts, if they are taken off the market it will have no effect on my ability to hunt or protect myself.
