He's right about hunting and military rifles.


But the Second Amendment isn't about hunting.

Oh, really?

So bolt-action rifles, such as the '03 Springfield, various Lee-Enfields, Mausers, etc., should not be used to hunt?

They are all "military" rifles.

What about so-called "sporting" rifles, chambered cartridges such as the .30-06, .308 Winchester (7.62x51 Nato), .303 British, 8mm Mauser, .30-40 Krag, .45-70 Government, .223 Remington (5.56 Nato), etc., etc.?

Should they be prohibited as well? After all, those are all evil "military" cartridges.

As long as the hunter obeys the magazine capacity and minimum caliber size restrictions (where applicable), what difference does the rifle's appearance make? IMO, an AR-15 makes a fine coyote rifle, and a scoped heavy-barrel variant will pop groundhogs all day long. Although I've never killed a deer with a .223, I have used an AR clone (Bushmaster) on several feral pigs.

The pork chops and roasts were delicious.
