The AR-15 can be, and IS used A LOT for hunting. (Hogs, coyotes, fox and other varmints.)
I would point out that hunting is irrelevant to the purpose of the 2nd Amendment. It is a common ploy to say you support the 2nd Amendment as you support sportspeople and you (politician) have gone hunting (which gives you the laughable photo ops of Kerry, Hillary and Romney making up stories of animal killing prowess). Varmints can be controlled without the higher capacity mags which make rampages so easy (recall all the Zumbo and guy from Guns and Ammo denouncing assault rifles as they were hunters).
If you go into the hunting, competition argument - you are falling into a trap. The 2nd Amend. is not about entertainment (Thanks for you take on that, extremely stable genius). In Australia and the UK, the sports argument failed to stop the gun laws.
About the not turning in off the guns which folks chortle about. Well, that's nice except for if there is a ban:
1. You cannot use them for hunting
2. You cannot use them for competition
3. If you use them for self-defense - you may beat the shooting charge but be charged with having the guns. There are cases like that already.
4. There is the risk of discovery when you Ex turns you in. Your kid babbles at school. The firemen find it.
5. Sheriff Andy of Crapberry may not want to execute the law but the state troopers in most states will.
What are you going to do with the hidden gun? Dig it up to fight the Green New Deal or Medicare for all?
All politicians lie - so why the outrage on this one, like any party as moral standing on truthfulness?
I can't list lies without going into politics but being naive on lying is a touch naive. Try to combat them with the truth. All institutions lie.
