What do you consider a semi-automatic? Do you - know what it is, or do you believe what the media Posted: Oct 4th, 2017 - 1:56 pm In Reply to: No brainer: Mass shootings in Australia in the two decades prior to the ban - 18 - mass shootings since the ban - 0
NY has for years had a five shot maximum on semi-autos used for hunting. The purpose was to prevent an overeager hunter from spraying a deer. The regulation was passed years ago. Most weapons at the time were surplus M1s and for smaller game M1 carbines. My hubby has hunted only occasionally and my cousin hunted every deer season. He often used his M1 Tanker with a five shot clip. Most seasons rangers and/or troopers would inspect his weapon for compliance. Modern .223s and Ruger 30s, SKSs and AKs can easily comply with a limit like NY.
Yes, most places, that I know of, that let you hunt with semis require a 5 round magazine.
Other states limits caliber used and maximum magazine capacity, not the function of the action.
Then there's the M-1 Garand. It is a semi-automatic military rifle, although it is not black so it is not scary.
If you have an AR and a 5 round magazine why should I have to buy another rifle for hunting?
One shot one kill. If at all possible.
A hunter worth his salt won't go "spraying" bullets. It's the left's stereotype of a hunter.
