"Most of the guns that we see in the news and the gun debates are not guns that I ever saw someone hunting with."

Correct. Hunting rifles are typically much more powerful and lethal than handguns and "assault style" AR-15 and AR-derivative rifles.

They shoot farther and with more velocity, they use larger (sometimes much larger) projectiles and are much more accurate.

On the other hand, rifles are just a fraction (< 5%) of gun deaths in the United States.

When I lived in Arkansas, I took several deer with an AR-15. Now that I'm in Virginia I can't do that, because the cartridge isn't considered powerful enough to be humane. Here, I use a AKM in 7.62x39mm.
