Most AR-15s are actually not a big enough caliber for large game hunting (as they are chambered in .223 or 5.56mm), but are fine for smaller game (in VA at least, deer must be hunted with .23 or larger).

So because you cannot hunt with the larger magazines (but I assume can use them at a range for target shooting), should you be required to turn them in? Should you not be allowed to purchase or own them? I assume you're not planning a shooting spree (in which case you should NOT be allowed to have the magazines or the gun), why should you be punished for owning them, if someone decides a 15-round magazine is illegal because someone went on a shooting spree with one (or ten)?

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?

I own what is technically an 'assault rifle', which I purchased for deer hunting, an M1 30-cal Carbine (a great little gun for hunting where your shots are generally short range such as in the forest and swamp areas of Northern Michigan, where I'm originally from) and while it came with a pair of 15 round military magazines, I had no problem whatsoever buying 5 round magazines so as to make it legal for hunting in Michigan (auto-loading rifles are limited to 6 rounds, 5 in the magazine, one in the chamber).
