I don't know why the NRA could only defend sales of
these weapons with the lame "they could be used for
hunting" excuse.
Maybe they didn't want to say "we need them to shoot
police and federal agents if the government becomes too
bothersome for us".
At least that would have been a bit more honest, if
they think this is a Second Amendment issue........
