Here's a Crazy Idea...Use the "Breastaurant" concept to buy back Assault Rifles and High Cap Mags

57. Proper ARs are perfect hunting rifles.

I own an AR-10(T) which I bought for the express purpose of hunting deer-to-moose sized game. Didn't set out thinking "ZOMG AR yeahhh"...I had x amount of money, wanted as accurate a .308 as I could get for x amount of money, looked in the Firearms section of Uncle Henry's weekly buy/sell/swap, and there was the AR for a good bit less than x dollars. Reliability is a non-issue since I keep it reasonably clean and I'm not after dangerous game, the rifle is far more accurate than I am (I can consistently manage 5 rounds in a 1/2" circle at 100 yards, I've seen the rifle go under 1/3 in skilled hands), it holds exactly the same number of rounds as my bolt-action .243, 5 when hunting, and while it's no MORE fun to shoot than my other tackdrivers it's certainly no less. And the aesthetics, which seem to be the huge bugbear for "reasonable" people, are neither here nor there for me, just different - like say an Aston-Martin Vanquish v12 vs a Viper SRT.


Whoever told you you have to shoot Cape Buffalo in the knees was lying, btw. My dad took one last year, the only acceptable shot if they're coming at you is directly in the forehead, through a massively heavy skull - exactly the same as an elephant which is why you need an elephant rifle to hunt one safely. They are the most dangerous of the Big Five though, mostly because people get compliant as opposed to the much more obviously dangerous elephant.
