Obviously, you've never shot a gun. I"m assuming that you believe that "hunting" with an "Assault rifle" means using full automatic. As a firearms instructor, I can tell you that shooting full auto, or even three-round burst, would be as useless in hunting as throwing a rock at a deer. What kills in hunting, and in combat, are properly aimed shots to vital parts of the animal being shot. An AK-47 uses a 7.62mm round that is very accurate. IT's comparable to the .308 Winchester round that I've used to engage targets at 1150 yards with. Just because a gun looks a certain way, the image that you've been given of an "Assault weapon", doesn't mean that it's not a hunting rifle. I've used my .308 Winchester AR-15 to hunt deer, I do it pretty frequently actually. What makes that less skillful than taking out a Marlin .308 Lever action rifle that looks like a "hunting rifle"? Obviously, you've never shot a gun.

Also, not everyone hunts for "Sport". I hunt because I like meat and I like not having to pay for it. Their are a few herds of antelope and mule deer that live mostly on my property. I manage them better than most state governments manage their deer. I feed them nutritious foods, I keep them in check so that none of them starve and I don't kill the largest bucks, preferring to let them spread those genes around. I've shot NUMEROUS animals from my front porch before, some even while I was sitting down drinking a beer and they happened to meander into sight. Would you say that a man with a tractor is missing the point of gardening because the tractor doesn't require "skill"? If you think that people only hunt for the alleged thrill of the hunt or the feeling of primal man inside when you kill an animal, again, you are wrong. I don't feel bad that a lot of my hunting doesn't involve me swinging from a vine and using my bare hands to take down a herd of deer, it's not about sport for me a lot of the time, it's about wanting a freezer full of good meat.

That said, I do shoot for sport sometimes at animals. Groundhogs, for example, I'd never eat, but I do shoot them with a high-powered rifle (Yes, even my ASSAULT WEAPONS! *GASP*) at very long ranges. IF you can shoot a groundhog at 850 yards with a 3.5x scope, then I'll consider you qualified to judge what is and what isn't sport shooting. Until then, run along to the grocery store, Oh Master of Skills and Man among Men!, use your debit card to catch supper.
