What about only those that go in semi-automatics?? I don't know if standard hunting ammo can be used for those? (just asking) Besides I thought you go hunting turkeys with a shotgun.
Dave, turkeys , deer, pigs, alligator, elephants, whatever. I'm just using turkeys as an example. You can't make ammo 100 dollars a round. That's even more ridiculous than banning certain weapons.
I understand but what if you take only the ammo that goes into semi-automatics & mega clips and raise their cost ? Leave the hunting ammo alone. That's what I'm asking. Is that possible or not ? I know little specifics about various caliber of ammo.
Here's a thought: How many US citizens were killed by hand grenades last year ? Bearing that number in mind, why can hand grenade control work, but gun control can't (according to the NRA) ??

People do hunt with those nasty looking black guns that use the 5.56x45 NATO round. I saw a video of folks hunting prairie dogs and coyotes with http://www.huldraarms.com/rifles/product_f693dfc027b6/ Picking them off at 500 yards.
Why should hunting or for that matter self defense be only for the rich.

Why hunt at all. These animals never hurt anyone why kill them for a sick sport.I always hated hunting all my life.You want to shoot your guns their are targets you can use at shooting ranges all you want.Shoot at them not live animals.

I've never gone hunting in my entire life. I have never owned a gun and have no intention of getting one. I live in a county surrounded by gun-loving, fanatical hunters. Come hunting season, over half the male Student population in schools is absent. Some of the more important arguments of the pro-hunting fanatics are that hunting controls wildlife. There are dozens of serious accidents caused every year by deer-car collisions. Coyotes need to be 'controlled' because they will attack and kill farm animals. Farmers here are not allowed to use poison anymore so they shoot them. I can see the validity of these arguments, but I'll never understand why hunting is considered a 'sport'.
