Then instead of insulting, tell us the difference.....which is the one reason I made this thread.

Maybe, because my father didn't own every type of firearm, and taught me about what I used, and still use.

Most large game animals have a one-per-day take limit, so unless you completely miss a follow-up shot isn't critical. The other is meant to kill people at long distances. As I don't think someone shooting out of a tower into a crowd really cares about take limits, the quick follow-up shots and multiple high-capacity magazines make it much more effective. If someone is using the semi-auto to hunt deer they're probably doing it purely for the "cool" factor. If they need the quick follow-up shots and multiple high-capacity magazines for game they're either ignoring game laws (leave some for me, why don'tcha?) or else they really need to visit the target range more often.

I wish you were all correct, since in NH a hunter can take only one deer with a fire arm per season, 1 bear per season, and only one moose by lottery.

Both could be used for hunting, and in NH both would have to have only 5 rounds, no matter the capity of other magazines. I don't know all hunting laws for other states.

A semi auto for hunting can make sence for is a 2nd shot should be required.

The semi auto would never be seen by any serious sniper as a sniper rifle. Bolt action is far better for being accurate.

So, let's attempt to use some tact here....and let's stay on my OP....if not I will ask a MOD to remove your post.
I'm not being rude or off-topic, I was just making a simple observation.

Having someone delete my post wont offend me, but your belief that liberals dislike guns, really does.

But that is not what you said, you said you own several guns, named a few......that's it. You went no further than that and left it open ended.

I never quoted you, I never said you were off topic nor did I say you were rude. It was a blanket statement to everyone.

The belief that you think I was talking directly to you means you did not read the posting's prior to your's.


I said lefties in my OP and then I also in another post said most lefties do know about weapons....did you not read the posting's prior to yours?
