““You don’t hunt with semi-automatic weapons,” Jackson said. “These are designed to kill people.””

At least he got it right. They are “semi-automatic” weapons.

He got what right? That semi-automatic weapons were used in this latest tragedy (implied)? Indeed Glock pistols are semi-automatic and 9mm is not used for hunting.

But "semi-automatic" weapons are used very frequently when hunting. Many shotguns and hunting rifles are semi-automatic. Even .22 weapons come in semi-automatic and I would not say those are designed to kill people. Rats, birds and squirls maybe, but not people. A .22 placed precisely can be lethal no doubt, but so can an air rifle.

Wrong Jesse.. Browning Auto 5 shotgun, Winchester Model 100, Remington 742, just a few of the best hunting guns ever made, some have been around longer than you have.
