    They are good hunting rifles for feral hogs actually, 30 round mags included.

    Plus, banning certain magazine sizes or particular models of rifle isn’t really going to fix anything, but things like universal background checks would probably help.

      TBH, I would not trust a .223 to take down a hog intent on fucking me up. If feral hogs were a threat, I’d want a semi-auto .308 or similar larger more powerful round.

        10mm carbine would be good too if they aren’t too far, but most farmers tend to hunt them from relative safety in a stand or even from a helicopter sometimes: 5.56 is a popular choice but that might be in part because it’s pretty ubiquitous in the states.
