America is a big place with big wilderness and big game. If you are hunting large animals you will need something bigger than a .22 or shotgun. You don't need automatic or semi-automatics though.

It's also a place where you can go out to "the wild" and enjoy shooting weapons without endangering others and why not? Most people who do that are not a risk, they know what the weapons can do and look after them. They don't want their misuse as it just risks (further) restrictions on what they enjoy.

I expect that many in the NRA would also welcome preventing "the crazies" from being able to do this but how do you define who can and who can't have what in what circumstances or places? Then how do you enforce it? Are there unintended consequences (e.g. the police can't have guns because anyone who intentionally puts on a uniform and goes into certain areas must be "crazy")?
