I've gotten into discussions about guns with one of my best friends, who
is a hunter and with whom I've done some target shooting on the rural
property he recently sold. He shares my disdain for ARs, and he also
believes they are not well optimized for hunting. He, as well as other
sources, have said that if you need a burst of gunfire to take your
game, it's a sign of incompetence.

 The sad part is Frankie's "Straw Men" don't know what they are talking
about either. An AR doesn't fire "a burst of gunfire". It fires one
shot.
 Every time you pull the trigger..

John, we all know you're powerfully enamored of guns and shooting. That makes you fairly pedantic about vocabulary.
If a person shoots a semi-automatic as fast as he can pull the trigger, that is a "burst" of shots, practically speaking. That's how it would be accurately described, even if that "burst" didn't happen with one trigger pull. It would have much the same effect on (say) a deer being hunted; or a cop being shot at; or a room full of school kids.
And you've _still_ never explained the practical societal benefit of that capability in civilian hands.
