Can anybody provide me with a list of "hunting rifles" that accept detachable "high capacity" (whatever that means) magazines? I’m looking specifically for rifles that were not included in the ’94 AWB. Please include caliber.

I’d like this information for when I argue with the anti’s. When they say "a madman can get an assault weapon with a 30 round magazine" I’d like to reply "well, the <…> rifle is also a semi-automatic that fires a similar round and has a detachable magazine…"

Usually I argue that a gunman with a .30-30 lever-action going up against an unarmed population would have no trouble performing tactical reloads and doing just as much damage as if he had an AK.

Thanks for your help!

What I’m trying to do is point out the dishonesty of the anti’s when they claim they don’t want to take away the guns we use for “hunting or sporting purposes”. It makes no sense to ban rifle A because of certain cosmetic features, yet allow rifle B because it is considered a “hunting rifle”. The anti’s know this, but they know the only way to get rid of BOTH is to start with the “scarier” looking one first.

BAFTE, the GCA, the Brady Check (Unconstitutional due to presumption of guilt), “gun-free” zones, permits to carry, various licensing and registration schemes, and 20,000+ gun laws on the book. All barriers to exercising our R2KBA. If that is not a rationing of rights, I’m afraid of what is.

acme,
You’re right, I’m not going to win any arguments with Diane Feinstein. But we need as many people on our side as possible. That means convincing people that know nothing of firearms that can be easily swayed by the anti’s.

Hunting, shooting and target practise are some of the most popular pastimes in the USA, but make that you learn all about the rules and regulations regarding firearms and their safe use.
