FULLY automatic assault weapons I meant to say but I'm typing fast because I'm in a hurry.

I happen to own an AR-15 and a Hungarian AK-47 (both of which were purchased legally by my father who used his FFL license)

They are fun, but in the hands of person who is not familiar with such weapons they could be dangerous. Unlike hunting weapons these weapons are designed to fire rounds that are not only quite potent but also at a very fast rate. A bolt action hunting rifle cannot be fired in the same manner as my AR-15. I'd have 5 rounds or more in a target before you could chamber a 2nd round into a bolt-action hunting rifle.

Therein lies the difference.

I still believe semi-automatic assault rifles should be more difficult to purchase than hunting rifles, given the nature of what they were designed for.
