Can you quote any of them? I've followed the arguments of the
gun-rights crowd somewhat, and I don't recall seeing anyone insist
that they need full-auto weapons for hunting. I'd be interested in
knowing where I could find statements from people that they need
machine guns for hunting, got any links handy?

Just today:

"[FREETOWN, Sierra Leone] 'We have forced water into the building and some
of the snakes trying to escape were shot by our men carrying AK-47s...About
250 of the estimated 400 snakes who had made the [police] station their home
have been killed."
