These guns serve ABSOLUTELY no other purpose then to commit mass murder. Semi-Automatic rifles are overkill for hunting, and so far as I am concerned serve no real purpose in our society.
A simple pistol or call to 911 can serve as home defense and despite the NRA lobbying it is necessary to finally ban these worthless weapons that serve only to put your constituents into danger and allow mass murder to exist. It is finally time that the government takes a harder stance on murder
