                I'm American and I have no idea why someone needs to own a semi-auto either! Standard hunting rifles and, yeah, even some handguns are reasonable for sport and for protection. However, I see no need for a civilian to own an AR-15.

                I'll bite and answer this. Why can handguns and "standard" hunting rifles be used for sport but an AR-15 can't? What does standard even mean?

                Can you specifically name why someone shouldn't own a semi-auto rifle but why a handgun is acceptable? They have been around for over a century.

                You said you were going to answer my question, but all you did was ask me two more questions!!

                I understand that some people feel the need to own a handgun for safety, or whatever. I also understand that a lot of people enjoy hunting for sport, so I see the need for single (or low) round hunting rifles.

                However, I don't see the need for large clip, semi automatic and assault rifles! Why do you need to obliterate a deer? Deer meat is delicious!

                It's called the bill of rights, not the bill of needs.

                I have no problem with a rifle being designed to kill, that is the idea. If had the unfortunate experience of an attempted home invasion on two occasions, I'd prefer to be armed... Though a shotgun was my preference. I have used a semi-automatic rifle like those for coyote and hog however, and many people use them in that manner.

                The one on the right is just a bunch of plastic bullshit attached to a cheap surplus Soviet rifle from the 1950s that used to be made out of wood and shit before Bubba got his paws on it. Neither of these are capable of automatic fire.

                You do realize that hunting is killing, and things like feral hogs and whitetail deer are pretty physiologically similar to a human, right?
