Don’t have much skin in the game with this discussion, but I disagree here. When they say that, people aren’t thinking there’s a bunch of hunters using AR15s to kill deer. The point, I take away at least, is saying exactly what you agree with - these guns aren’t being used for hunting or other practical purposes. They are for killing.
If the bans imposed are to general and include “useful” weapons that aren’t just designed for mass killing, then I think that’s a fair argument , and one I don’t know enough to say anything about, but I’m pretty sure that’s the point when he says things like that.
