"Nobody Needs an 'Assault Rifle' for Hunting"

It's a quote used by anti-gunners and extremest animal-rights activists for years. All it does is prove that when it comes to Modular Sporting Rifles (MSRs), they know absolutely nothing. When people say, "Nobody needs an 'assault rifle' for hunting," they're envisioning an overall-clad redneck, rapid-firing 30 rounds as fast as possible into a helpless creature. This couldn't be further from the truth.

As a side note: most states have a 3-round limit when hunting deer - and since a vast majority of gun owners in the U.S. are law-abiding citizens, we comply with this law.

Not only are modern sporting rifles used to hunt deer in all areas of the country, but here's a list of all the other animals you can hunt with them:

• Wild boar
• Coyote
• Jackrabbit/Hare
• Coypu/Nutria
• Feral goats (yes these are real)
• Fox
• Raccoon
• Tyrannical governments
• Squirrel 
• Any other rodent or small game that didn't make the list

*People who own a large amount of land for farming need to keep their fields clear from pests and other creatures that could negatively affect their crops or livestock. There is no better weapon for this problem than a .223 caliber AR-15. Creatures such as wild hogs could easily ruin entire crops and cost farmers thousands of dollars in profit if they are not disposed of.*

And this is just assuming that you are talking about the traditional AR-15 that fires the 5.56//223 round. Modular sporting rifles come in MANY different calibers - and they look equally "dangerous."
For example, if your MSR fires .308 rounds, this list of things you can hunt will grow exponentially.

Do I NEED an AR-15 for hunting, no. But is it the best tool for the job? Possibly. But saying that "nobody needs an assault rifle for hunting" is as stupid as saying "nobody needs a sports car because we have speed limits." It's an argument that holds no weight whatsoever.
