Hunting prairie dogs with assault weapons? How is that a sport?
FYI Semi-automatic rifles ("assault weapon" is a propaganda term), fire one round (bullet), and one round only, with each pull of the trigger. Just like a bolt-action or lever-action rifle.
How is that a sport?
How is it NOT sport?
It is no easier to hit a target with a semi-automatic rifle, than it is with a bolt-action or lever-action rifle.

Correcting your ignorance is not a sport either.
The NRA has always been the stupid wing of the stupid party.
What do you know of either guns or prairie dog hunting?
When Ya' use the Bayonet...
Well the .222 Rem, which was developed as a varmit caliber became the .223 which was chosen as the military standard of the "assult rifle" AR15. what has always amazed me is, we shoot humans with woodchuck rounds.

1. What's an assault weapon? (Or, more accurately, what weapon is not an "assault weapon"?)
2. What's the problem with hunting prairie dogs? It's not as if they're in short supply or are beneficial in any way (other than as a food-chain member)
3. If you'd read with some effort, you'd realize that the idea the author is proposing is preposterous (as well as false, emotion-laden, and intentionally deceptive). Spraying bullets at small, fast targets who hide underground would simply be wasting money and making noise. Why spend $40 in ammo in 6 seconds just to scare away the varmint hordes and ruin the hunt for everyone? The entire point of the exercise is one-shot-one-kill (and don't terrify the rest into hiding for the day). If you just want to make holes in the dirt and hear loud noises, you don't need prairie dogs to do so. There are plenty of places to go shooting at fake targets that don't run away.
Those are the Liberals most true prairie dog hunters use a flamethrower.
