"`` ( 16 . ) Assault weapons don & # 8217 ; t need to be banned because they are 'functionally identical ' to standard hunting rifles and shotguns , and thus not genuine military weapons . They also shouldn & # 8217 ; t be banned because the 'militia ' described in the 2nd Amendment needs them to defend us against a tyrannical government , and standard hunting rifles or shotguns would never be up to the task ."
"The Supreme Court has declared that the Second Amendment is n't about hunting , so this argument is dead and moot . I 'd also suggest that you and this article author do a little research and get with the times . The AR-15 has officially been adopted as the hunting rifle of the 21st century . Remington now makes a version , the R-15 , marketed exclusively toward hunters ."
