38. I do not think one should worry about the 2nd Amendment being repealed in the US.

The AWB people are not even mentioning this, we are for reasonable sensible gun ownership, for there to be background checks which should deny purchase of weapons by criminals and those who are mentally stable. There are many gun owners who have never hunted and never will. If a hunter tells me they need the capacity to have more than ten rounds to hunt with I would tell them they are not a good marksmen and need to practice. As one who consumes game I am not able to consume what is blown away so there is not a need for the type of ammo which does this. Again it is about reasonable sensible owners.
