A). What else are semi-auto rifles used for? Note that I also mentioned hunting.

B). Re: wounding an animal. That's why you learn where to shoot an animal, and how to make the shot. If you miss, practice more and better luck next time. If you wound, but do not kill, do your best to track the animal and ensure it doesn't suffer (and the meat isn't wasted).

C). It is almost unthinkable that full auto won't be included in Feinstein's bill that she plans to introduce next month. Semi-auto rifles, on the other hand, are more of a gray area, hence the call for a discussion.

Thanks for the welcome!
