Why would I go talk to a hunter about the Second Amendment? That’s like talking to a hairstylist about surgical work because both fields make use of scissors. Yes, hunting is an assumed use of firearms under the Second Amendment, but it is not at all the reason for its existence. And what does magazine capacity have to do with body armor? A long-barreled rifle chambered in any normal hunting caliber that holds only five rounds is typically going to penetrate body armor better than a .223 Remington round from an AR-15. Biden is just spewing anti-gun ideas that aren’t even congruent. //

The Second Amendment was created so that ordinary citizens could keep and bear arms, thereby being able to organize into militias to fight threats, foreign or domestic. Hunting wasn’t even on the radar (though, it was assumed because it was such a normal part of life), and bringing it up shows a profound ignorance of the topic at hand.

As to why someone needs a 100-round magazine, the answer is simple: Because they want one. Any more questions? //

The Second Amendment is about hunting tyrants, not deer. //

The root problem, of course, is that the Democrats consider the Bill of Rights to be a set of (limited) rights granted to the people by a benevolent government.

Nonsense is what that is.

The founders knew no government is benevolent, and wrote the Bill of Rights as a set of limits imposed on the government to prevent it encroaching on these natural rights which flow from our Creator.
