    Barely even warrants a response, like I said don't take the bait. Don't get triggered by sub standard trolling.

    Given what looks like deliberately controversial caliber judgments added in, I'm going to go with deliberately obtuse-with the goal of trolling.

    I'm wondering if troll or stupid is more complimentary?

    If the weedy fellow needs a lightweight rifle he could buy a Kimber Montana. Or a gym membership.

    Don't feed the troll. It offers nothing constructive to this forum.
    Ignore it.

    Hunting is just one of many lawful uses for firearms, some of which are not well suited to bolt-action rifles. Don't judge your fellow lawful firearms owner on his choice of firearm. Doing so just makes you a pawn of the anti-gun lobby, and therefore a traitor to the rest of us (divide and conquer). Traitors are the lowest form of life! I think it is time for you to re-assess your attitude.

    You just don't get it do you? The connection between why you need a car of a certain size and spec in line with why we choose to use what firearm we own? Can I make myself any clearer?

    Also for clarification purposes if you actually had a clue of what you were talking about(you do this often young one) then you would be aware that a AR 15 is NOT a assault rifle but a modern sporting rifle....

    Hey I dare you to go along and see how well you do at a service rifle shoot if you think your beloved 7-08(I'm guessing you have the man bag to carry your sanitary pads too).
    Because if a 20" 7-08 is a "proper rifle" it will have no trouble keeping up in all aspects of the shooting disciplines?

    You are a fine example of the source of separatism within the firearms community and one who is likely to assist in our downfall?

    Sorry guys, slightly off topic but I too wondered what was the point of the ar15 rifle, so I started reading about them and the more I read the more I started to understand and like the ar15 concept. An American gun writer suggested that instead of calling them a "black rifle" or " assault rifle" or in NZ a MSSA he suggested MSA ( modern sporting rifle ) and I think he has a point, because thats what I now think it is. The Ruger precision rifle is a bolt action target rifle based on the ar15 platform, and maybe more rifles will built on the same platform

    "assault rifle" and "modern sporting rifle" are both equally incredibly stupid and meaningless made up nomenclature

    I like to call mine an anti terrorism defence rifle because that makes it sound more cuddly and thats typically what they are used for in the sandy places.

    'Assault Rifle' is the correct nomenclature when talking about assault rifles. ....because it IS a defined term.

    'Made up nomenclature ' Ha! What word or term isn't made up?

    Whilst I believe that your AO said that to you and perhaps that he hasn't heard anything about such changes, I refute the sentiment that a change to legislation is needed to change the status quo.

    We've seen plenty of changes to the rules in the last few years via police policy and nothing more.
