I don't need to put an AR 15 into a special category. You want it banned or heavily restricted right? That's a special category. Even you say it isn't good for hunting unless it's modified. No. I say that it isn't good for hunting larger game unless its modified. Do hunters or anybody else need guns with clips that hold 15 or more bullets? Does that make any difference? Also magazines can be made for almost any semi-auto (or auto but that's not relevant here) that hold 15 (or many more) bullets. You don't even need to get it made special for many guns. In just a few seconds (much less time then it takes to type this) I found 2 different 15 round magazines for a SIG for $40, a 16 round magazine for a Smith and Wesson SD9 for the same price, and a 14 round magazine for an SW SD40 also for $39.99, a 15 round magazine for Stoeger for $34.99 and a 30 round magazine for a Glock 17 for $49.99, a 13 round .45 ACP mag for $29.99, a 17 round Walther PPQ mag for $39.99, a compact 12 round mag for and S&W for $39.99... Those are all for concealable weapons. The type of weapons (not those specific ones but pistols in general) that are associated with the vast majority of crimes. More people are beaten to death then murdered with rifles (and that's all rifles not AR-15s). Are you in favor of citizens owning "small" nukes? Are you in favor of non-sequiturs. "Arms" generally means individual carried weapons and its always been interpreted that way by the courts and by almost everyone else. It doesn't even include high explosives, let alone nukes.

Do hunters or anybody else need guns with clips that hold 15 or more bullets? Absolutely - when hunting hogs from a helicopter - having 30 or more rounds available is a great advantage. When competing in 3 gun matches - it's essential. When defending your home against multiple home invaders it's very comforting and of course if the government ever decides to become tyrannical, as the founders feared - it can be used to defend the people as the 2nd amendment was specifically created for. And dumping a full magazine (not clip, dumbass) it's extremely fun.
