That is all true.
Unfortunately its not the purpose that gets it banned. The events they are 
trying to avoid are not usually carried out by hunting rifles. Hunting 
rifles get used for hunting, and military look/feel gets used for sprees. 

Maybe a better argument to write them is that if you ban the military 
look/feel guns then people will switch to hunting rifles which are more 
powerful anyway?
