It may, in fact, be the first time the official spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation has admitted that any military-style semiautomatic assault rifle is inappropriate for hunting. Lawrence Keane, senior vice president of the group, went further, and even told the New York Times that the SKS isn't a humane weapon for hunting deer. "The reason the SKS is not used by hunters, Mr. Keane said, is that it is designed for combat soldiers and is therefore underpowered for killing an animal like a deer with a single shot, the goal of good hunters," The Times wrote. "'The ethics of hunting are you don't want the animal to suffer needlessly,' Mr. Keane said."

So I suppose if the sooter used a .300 Winchester, this would be preferrable? Tell you what, what if the shooter used a .50 BMG??? Would that be powerful enough? No, wait, it would be too powerful, obviously a military weapon. Now, if he shot those other hunters with a .270, that would be acceptable; after all, that makes for a nice deer gun, and since the gun wouldn't be a (gasp) AsSaUlT WeApOn, I suppose those six victims would have had a better chance.

Man, liberals are a stupid lot! Somebody needs to inform these pour ignorant souls that the Second Ammendment has nothing to do with hunting!
