In a few states, you can use an assault rifle for hunting deer.

But it only makes sense at really close range with excellent shot placement - anything less that is inhumane and causes the deer to suffer.

You can also verify this by checking the rifles that snipers use if they have a choice - it's never an assault rifle.

The hunters I know who use AR15s for hunting (I think it's elk, not deer) are ex-snipers.

Nothing about my message should suggest anything about the humanity of using assault rifles to hunt deer. It's entirely about being factual about the nature of assault weapons, which some gun nuts seem to intentionally deny.
