I agreed with your theory about what our Founding Fathers probably took for granted in the late 18th century – namely that owning a gun for protection and for hunting was a necessity for many. A hunting rifle, a shotgun – the expectation was that most people, especially outside of the cities, would have such a weapon. I think you are correct when you say that our Founding Fathers never gave restricting that right a second thought and although I am not a hunter myself, I have no problem with someone who wishes to hunt to feed their family.
I disagree wholeheartedly, however, with your interpretation of the Second Amendment. |

| If only you could get your hands on your old 5th grade American history text. The American Revolutionary War started with the British attempting to disarm us. Our Founding Fathers forsaw that someday, the American Govt would distrust Of the People, by the People, and For the People just as the British did. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
