President Carter owns two scoped hunting rifles, what makes his hunting rifles different from a sniper rifle?

A hunting rifle mounted with a scope is fully as powerful as a sniper rifle, fully as accurate, and with off the shelf ammo just a capable of penetrating body armor at long range. What then is the difference between a hunting rifle and a sniper rifle? To me, they are one and the same.
Of course, we all know that a hunting rifle with a max effective range of 500 yards is far less more dangerous than an "oh my god, it has a bayonet assault rifle" with a max effective range of 200 yards.

He is just playing on the ignorance of most libs. Quite common really. People who know nothing about guns depend on their peers for information. I recall a lib in California who was pushing a bill to ban heat shields on firearms and when a reporter asked her what it was she said something like; “it’s a part that goes over your shoulder”.
Politicians are liars right down to their inner being, its second nature to lie for them.
As for lib logic take a look at the Miss America pageant, they had a gay man as a judge. How can a guy who likes men judge the beauty and persona of a woman? Shows how damn stupid they are! And because one contestant spoke her peace about thinking the gay life was against her beliefs when the gay judge asked, she lost the contest. Again it shows unless you think as they want you to then your evil and they will make life hell for you. But at the same time they expect us to be tolerant of them. To hell with being tolerant of those idiots!
Carter is pond scum.

Carter is irrelevant, always has been, even when he was a sitting president.

nothing, a hunting rifle is the same thing as a sniper rifle. the only difference is the person behind it.
in reality there is no such thing as a sniper rifle, just snipers. any rifle used by a sniper becomes in essence a sniper rifle.
500 yards? cutting it a little short aren’t we? i’ve seen a rem. 700 reach out to 800 easy.

Good lord are you trying to give the grabbers something else to gripe about? Let them stick with the "ohh no it has a bayonet on the end" so they will leave my hunting rifles alone lol.

If you’re any good at hunting, you have no use for a 10-shot magazine. Other than that, there isn’t much difference. A gun doesn’t care whether its target is paper, covered with fur, or wearing a suit.

A "sniper rifle" is whatever a sniper is using to do his job. In the hands of a regular hunter that same rifle now becomes a scoped hunting rifle.
Also, what does Carter have anything to do with terminology?

America’s greatest sniper, Carlos Hathcock, freely admits to using the same Winchester Mod 70 in 300 Win Mag for his sniping that people use for elk, moose, bears, and other large game.

There is no difference at all, this one guy answered to this question, the question was if the U.S. military failed(when is that gonna happen?) could we defend ourselves and a guy said that in America we have millions of snipers with high powered rifles fully capable of taking down any person alive at up to 500 yards. We just dont call them snipers, we call them hunters. and all of these "snipers" have been "sniping" all of their lives, i wouldnt want to be any one invading the U.S. thats for sure.
