you' ve already wasted your money...unless killing people is what you had in mind
Come on Vapodog that statement is shear stupidity. A rifle is a TOOL. It is how one uses that tool that is important.
Useing your logic one could classify the Springfiel 01A1, 30-40 Krag, any number of Mausers that have been sporterized, M14, etc etc.
Heck OUR Marine snippers use a Remington 700 for their " work" . We might as well label the Remington 700 a " people killer" . Why stop their the .308.30/06, .223, .45/70, 30-40 krag are ex military rounds lets just do away with them.
One could make the argument for the Browning B.A.R. (Browning Automatic Rifle) Though it wears a prettier stock and metal and is only a some-what evil semi-auto it is derived from its WWII sibling.
there' s a lot of deer rifles out there....and yours is not one of them
True the SKS is not on anyones list of " classic" deer rifles and the 7.62x39 is not on the " classic" rounds list......But you might have to wonder why Ruger is chambering it in their bolt action and their #1 as well as CZ in their 527 bolt action carbine. I forget to mention the Ruger mini--thirty--but that could be one of your evil people killers. Also there are bullets available for the purpose of deer hunting.
Vapodog, I think you made your comments in haste. Theres no need in giving the antis more rounds to fire back at us, by dividing us.
