On the contrary, the AR 15 is used for competition, target shooting, as well as hunting. I use one for all three. Its no different than any other semi auto in my gun cabinet. Its not even considered an "assault" weapon as it does not have a fully automatic mode.
If you need an AR 15 to hunt you need to spend more time target shooting and less time in the field.

Of course, if we were to apply Gun Nut logic to drugs, all drugs would be legal and there would be no limits on how much we could purchase or who could buy them. In fact, any attempt to regulate drugs at all would be considered the height of tyranny! Combine that with unlimited guns, and we'd really have ourselves a party!

You serious??? What on earth are you hunting with an AR 15? A flock of sparrows? Packs of prairie dogs?? Perhaps I'm ignorant, because I've only hunted birds, but please tell me what you have hunted with an AR 15. You're not seriously hunting deer with AR 15, are you?

Not a question of need, its a question of preference. I hunt feral hogs (when down south) with the AR, deer with a 45-70 lever gun or 30.06 bolt action. Birds with a shotgun. Get it?

Or perhaps I should get to the range more since its tough to hit a flying bird with one of my rifles. On second thought, maybe I'll try hunting birds with my bow. Need way more range time with that though, that being the case.

They're one of the best guns out there for pigs, which are often not easy to take down with a bolt-action, low-round capacity rifle, especially when they charge you. Watch a few youtube videos and you might understand why.
As a .223 they are usually not legal for deer. But they can be chambered in .308 (see AR-10; the AR-15 can be converted between .223 and .308 fairly easily), which is an excellent deer round. No, it shouldn't take 30 rounds of .308 to knock down a deer, but if you already own an AR, can shoot it well, and don't have the desire/need to purchase a separate deer rifle, why not? That's fewer guns on the streets, after all, and the # of guns out there seems to really matter to liberals.

Not to mention that hogs are notoriously tough to put down, even the smaller ones and can shred you like a knife going through a filet with their tusks if left to their own devices.

Alcohol is often used for cougar hunting. If you need alcohol for cougar hunting you need to spend less time target shooting and more time in the field.

1. No, we already tried that. Didn't work out too well.
2. Alcohol sales and consumption is highly regulated. Must be 21, which is obviously a few years older than age of legal adulthood. No carrying open containers of alcohol in public. Alcohol is prohibited in many areas.
3. I suspect it is not an entirely serious question and you are trying to make an apples to oranges argument on something else, which also is in no threat of being banned, but should be highly regulated.
Just add another level of penalty if caught while driving under the influence.
In China, automatic license suspension, car impounded and into jail.

Moist and OLD SMTC: Thanks for the clarification - I hadn't thought about pigs. I stand corrected!
