    Self protection does not require a gun and in fact if you are relying solely on a gun you may find yourself MORE defenceless.
    Hunting.......I would like to give the animals a chance in which case we should go back to bows and arrows

    Target shooting - isn’t that what rifle ranges are for?

    Your barrel rises rather quickly so I see no way to fill the deer corpse with lead.

    I'm quite sure that most, if not all of them were. Unless otherwise reported, it's safe to assume that they are.

    Are you saying an AR15 is not used for hunting?

    They sure gutted the males in Australia. Look at how restricted they live. I suppose the men now squat to pee.

    I can't say that. But why use a tiny round when one can use a .306 and do the animal less harm?

    I don't know of anyone who uses rapid fire at a deer with a semiautomatic. They fire one shot. If they miss or the deer does not immediately drop, they fire a second shot unless the deer has already ran off. You start off by pulling the trigger rapidly, you will miss with most shots.

    Pray tell why not? If all firearms were somehow removed from the equation, with no ability for them to be replaced, would such bring an immediate end to all violent crime that could result in the great bodily harm or death of another? Would all sexual assaults suddenly cease?

    Texas governor Abbott has confirmed the count of dead and wounded as 20 dead and 26 wounded in the heinous assault.

    I am guessing then that you are content with that? At least you are honest about the state of the USA.

    Demonstrate such.

    Demonstrate where any firearm manufacturer has tried to convince children that their product is nothing more than a toy.

    The request has been made, but no decision has been reached on whether or not such will be heard. But even if such a decision is made, there is no standard under which the lawsuit will be allowed to proceed, as the firearm in question was stolen from its legal owner.

    Thus demonstrating firearms are not actually designed to kill, otherwise the number of individuals who survive such would be extremely lower than such.

    Are firearms intended to be used in the mass and illegal killing of innocent bystanders and private citizens in a completely indiscriminate manner?

    If the use of a firearm for killing others is an illegal act, how can any manufacturer be held legally responsible for such, when firearms can only be sold to those who have no criminal record?

    And yet felons in the state of Hawaii continue to illegally possess firearms, correct?

    A semi auto, should be legally defined as any gun that can be modified to fully auto with an extension or by removing a part.

    And yet there are no accounts of those who use a semi-automatic rifle for hunting, utilizing multiple rounds for the purpose of killing a single game animal.

    The AR-10 is used all the time for wild hog hunting and being able to shoot more than one round is essential.

    Would Donald Trump have been elected president of the united states if it were indeed a first world, developed nation?

    Used all the time for vermin hunting so FAIL. There is even a hunting magazine devoted to it. The AR is often more accurate.

    There are cases where the low powered AR-15 would do fine for rapid running hogs. I fired one this past June and frankly it still bounced on and off the target. But this weapon lacked sights. First weapon ever I fired that lacked sights.

    Out here in Idaho gun shots are a lot more common than my former city of Fremont in Ca.

    The suspect in a deadly mass shooting at a shopping mall in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday was widely identified on the internet as a young white man whose social media activity showed support and sympathy for the president’s apparent white nationalist agenda. The name and photos of a man purported to be Patrick Crusius quickly circulated across Twitter in the hours after the shooting that first began outside a Walmart store at Cielo Vista Mall was first reported. If those reports were accurate, Crusius, allegedly a Texas native, just turned 21 last week.

    A manifesto purportedly written by Crusius, perhaps even in the hours before the shooting attack that according to one report left at least 15 people dead, was left behind. Pages of the manifesto included anti-immigrant rhetoric with the author going into depth on why he is “against race mixing,” supports the idea to “send them back.”

    The El Paso shooting was the second mass shooting in as many weeks reportedly attributed to white supremacists. Just last week, Santino William Legan killed multiple people attending the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California. That shooting and Saturday’s shooting in El Paso were the latest in a growing string of attempted and carried-out mass shootings attributed to overt pro-white racism that has soared since Trump was elected.
