Actually bow and arrow hunting is FAR easier than with firearms, if you learn to use the weapon properly and aren't too lazy.

oh, and assault rifles... What a lame term used by irrational gunhaters.
You can assault someone with a shoe, but you dont hear people talking about assault shoes...
Why not just call it a rifle?
Oh, right. it doesnt sound as scary.

I find it intersting that one who uses hyperbole to denegrate another's use of it. (Why isn't there a smilie for a scowl?)
Assault rifles are classified as such because their primary function and reason for development was to be used for armed assault.
While any solid object can be used for such purposes, they are not classified as such when their primary function does not even take that possibility into consideration.
I am skilled and appreciate the use of all of the above, but I do NOT approve of the average person owning a fully automatic weapon unless they are serving in armed combat on a continuous basis - in other words not for civilians.
