Gun Control & RKBA

you provided. My knowledge of guns is mostly from movies - handguns, rifles with a bolt (grandpa had one), tommy-guns, then Rambo-variety weapons. Your details on hunting and competition gave me the first real understanding I've had of the sporting use of guns.

My idea was that an AR style fired multiple times in rapid succession, so I thought it wouldn't be used for hunting, that is if you want to eat the game? (I still don't know if you're able to make single shots with it, googling is just bringing up the high end numbers). I guess this is part of the distinction between the traditional hunters and those preferring the AR style. I do see its application in the newer competitive events you mentioned, quick-moving and reactive target, that's a great addition to test skill.

In the photo it looks smaller - sleeker - than I thought, though still seems hard to conceal if someone was trying to. I did know they were available in Canada, in the restricted category. I've heard some examples of the variation in regulations between the states, I find that incredibly confusing.
