The AR-15 was no different to a hunting rifle aside from the magazine capacity and some of the accessories that can be bought. The AR-15 I shot had a red dot sight and a few other accessories that were over the line in my mind. I also shot a Glock which scared me. Now, some of the rifles/firearms I saw in use at the gun range were unsettling to me. I actually felt quite unsafe. Fwiw, I am not a gun proponent by any means. I am not arguing in favour of guns. I think a major issue is the size of the magazines and ability to rapid fire even though a gun is semi automatic.

Christ, cnn just stated that open carry in Texas only became legal in January. Talk about going in the wrong direction!
