Never take advice from a Democrat on firearms. They are clueless. They have no idea how to fire them or what their purposes are. They are narcissists and do not care about you. They only care about themselves.
Yes, in fact you can hunt with an AR-15 or a AK-47. You should only use it for small game because they don't have the firepower to take down big game easily. People do it all the time. There are semi-automatic hunting rifles that fire the same caliber ammunition. They're is no difference between a semi-automatic hunting rifle that shoots a .223 or 5.56x45 round and an AR-15. They are equal in every way. The only difference is if it looks like a military rifle it makes liberals wet their pants.
Never ever trust anyone who says, "you don't need X". They want to put limits on what you can own. They have no idea if you need it or not. They are basing it solely on their need.
Politicians don't need firearms because they have a security detail who are armed and trained. Those politicians don't care about you. You can get assaulted and killed for all they care. They want you unarmed and a target for any type of violence that comes your way. As long as they are protected, that is all that matters to them.
What makes me "sick" is politicians total lack of concern about anyone other than themselves.
