One point I have not seen anyone make.

Libs say over and over no one needs an AR-15 to deer hunt.

Ignore for the moment that the Constitution never mentions hunting as a reason for the 2nd Amendment.

My neighbor who hunts deer on my farm has a beautiful collection of hunting guns, most of which are old enough that they have beautiful walnut stocks with the rich bluing from the days when rifles were beautiful as well as high quality.

He bought an AR-15 and it has become his favorite hunting rifle. That really surprised me because it certainly does not look like his old Winchesters and Remingtons.

But the reason he is sold on it is the low recoil and really great accuracy.

The libs problem with the AR-15 is that they envision hunters machine gunning a deer which is laughable.

Putting the first bullet exactly where it needs to be is the secret to successful hunting. It is rare that you get a second shot unless the deer is wounded sufficiently that it takes only a few steps.

Low recoil helps accuracy.

When any liberal says, “You don’t need an assault rifle with a 50 round clip to hunt deer”, I always pause, look at them seriously, and respond:

“Yeah, but what if there are a LOT of deer? What if they are in lightly-armored vehicles?”

I find that meeting absurdity with absurdity is the best option.
