the ar15 is an extremely popular firearm for many reasons. as you just said you don't know a whole a lot about guns, shouldn't you educate yourself on these things before you make statements about them? people who try to make statements about subjects they know little about usually can't make an honest decision about that subject because of their lack of information.
also our right to bear arms has nothing to do with hunting. not a single thing. it's about being the last line to protect a free state. I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist here buts let's get real. right now in our current political climate can you honestly tell me we have a trust worthy government? I'm sure you have been watching the news. you were a Burney supporter right? aren't you even a little upset how the Democratic side of our government rigged the election? can you honestly sit there and tell me when the shit hits the fan we are going to be perfectly safe? let's move away from from tyranny and let's just say we could never face an invasion on US soil because we are clearly too badass for either of those things to happen. let's put it in mother nature's hands.

what would happen if the lights turned off tomorrow? have you ever imagined the hell you would face if something like this ever happened? because it has.
this is not a new threat and the last time it happened the only real technology we had was the telegraph so it was that big of a deal. if that were to happen today it would destroy our countries. you folks living in major cities would be hit the hardest. have you ever looked into what happens when trucks stop delivering food and water? what happens when there is no fuel? shit cars won't even work because their computers are fried.
in the end it will be on you for your protection. sure a handgun works for defending a house against one person. it works great! but what happens when you aren't facing one person but five or six? you're going to be a perfect shot like in Hollywood? you will all of a sudden become Bruce Willis and go all lethal weapon on some fools?
it's about safety not hunting. protecting our loved ones.
do these shootings suck? yes. but are you seriously going to sit here and ask me to give up a tool like this to help make others feel safe? and it's a fake safe. banning a firearm isn't going to make anyone safer. not a single person. evil people want to hurt others. just a fact of life. the weapon they use now is much better than others they could choose from.
