If this guy ,whoever he is, would check regulations, he would find his most feared "assault rifles" were indeed not allowed for most hunting. AR15 are used for target shooting in some matches.
. The AR15 (M-16 etc.) round - 5.56 mm or .223 - was originally invented for varmint hunting. People were sizing large cases down to take a long .22 slug. It didnt take long for Stoner to pick up on the idea.

Have you seen some of the modified AR15s? They have the capability of 1/4" groups at 100 yards off of a bench. Now that is a tight group.
