"You don't need an AR to hunt down a deer" - Government.

Also Government - "Our Conservation Officers NEED AR-10s as they're the best tools for the job for deer/wildlife management".

To extend on the point of "you don't need an AR to hunt deer"

The government hiring zew Zealand and american sharp shooters with AR-15's to cull deer on an island in BC, complete with 30 round mags, and suppressors, from helicopter. The program costed millions and many hunters said they would gladly fill extra tags to help the cull, they were denied

They did the same in western Manitoba a few years ago to help stop the spread of CWD. I’m not sure if they ever released the data from the cull on how many deer may of been infected

Same near Saint Andrews, New Brunswick. Banned ARs then paid foreigners to use suppressed ARs to kill deer destroying the town. All a racket to make money and suppress our freedoms.
