I understand your point, and I think there is a causal relationship between violent video games and violence in society. I don't agree with all gun owners. Heck, I don't agree with everything my wife says and does.

My point was strictly that we have the right to own firearms, including mag-fed semi-autos. I wasn't referring exclusively to hunting.

It is unfortunate that some take pleasure in the amount of damage done by certain calibers, hits, etc., but I don't think that's the majority of hunters. I, too, would prefer that every deer I shoot drops in his tracks (I mostly hunt with a crossbow, but do a bit of gun hunting) or, at the very least within sight. That's not because I revel in the damage done, but because every time a deer I hit runs out of sight, I worry about recovery. I worry until I'm putting the tag on him.
