@BrianHjelleVirologist As a hunter, I'll add that if you can't get a clean shot using a rifle with a 4 round clip, you really have no business out in the field, anyway.
AR-15s are well made for their designed task - shooting large numbers of rounds rapidly. This is a military weapon, not a hunting rifle, and absolutely not a toy. There is no justifiable reason for the public to own these.
