He's right about hunting and military rifles.

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.

I should have said "modern" military rifles.

My second statement still stands.

Besides most of you hunting types like to "sporterize" (i.e. butcher) the rifles you mentioned by mangeling the stock and ruining the barrel with telescopic sites and putting rubber buttplates on them to protect your tender shoulders.
