Also, paradoxically, the fact that the hunting rifle has greater range and accuracy means that the person carrying it is more likely to have a "legitimate" use for it (i.e. hunting); if it can take a 30-round clip, but isn't accurate or powerful enough for hunting, then people might consider themselves justified in asking what you use it for?


Target shooting is a legitimate use. You can hunt with an "assault" rifle - many people take coyotes with .223. Every use is a legitimate use, until a crime is committed. Capacity of the magazine is largely irrevelant.
