@BillRM,

Your justification fails on the fact that you cannot establish that a pistol grip made the death toll any worse than it would be if the rifle did not have a pistol grip.

That is incorrect. Having a pistol grip on a rifle does not make it unsuitable for hunting game animals.
BillRM wrote:as every design feature is taken from military weapons design for one purpose killing humans.
Even if your claim is true (something that I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with) that does not mean that a gun with those features is unsuitable for hunting.
BillRM wrote:Sorry you do not need fifty to a hundred rounds weapons to hunt any kind of game that ever live but for humans.
So what? Magazine capacity has nothing to do with features like pistol grips and bayonet lugs.
Using magazine capacity to argue against features other than magazine capacity is a red herring at best and a straw man argument at worst.

Well first, you seem to have forgotten that Americans are free and are not European serfs. We don't have to justify that we need something before we are allowed to have it. It is you who has to justify gun restrictions.
Second, varmint rounds are perfectly appropriate for varmint hunting, and varmint hunters have every right to have such rounds.
And third, it is curious that you are complaining about rounds being too small and weak. By arguing that people should be forced to use larger more powerful rounds, you are actually working to make mass shootings even deadlier.
