#1 There's not a single word in the 2nd amendment about distinguishing different types of arms or their use. There's not a word about "hunting" either...

#2 The new Congress in 1792 passed two Militia Acts. The first described who were the militia. The second directed the members of the militia to arm themselves with the same weapon and equipment issued to the infantry of the very small US Army. The founders trusted their security in the people, not a large standing army or constabulary. Everything else is a lie to cover those facts.

#5 Sure thing Shotgun Joe.

But not hiding behind, standing in front.

"Public support for sensible gun regulations up in the 80s, almost at 90%. For some things like universal background checks, it’s in the 90s. I think Republicans are either going to move with the times, or the voting population will move them out."

Which is why executive suggestions are needed?

If it were that high, it would correct itself.

Call the Amendment Process then.

Can't find guns or ammo for demand, but 90% bans. Sounds legit.

Big Gov's pitch man is like a shitty fisher, just bad lines everywhere when he isn't tangled.

#6 The Constitution also established the idea of Congress granting private ship owners license to hunt enemy merchants and transports. That would require weapons of war. Therefore, the 2nd covers "weapons of war".

Also, at the time there was no difference between your hunting rifle and the one you took to war. Therefore, the 2nd covers "weapons of war".
