In reply to the discussion: Let's try this again, maybe this time someone can answer the question. [View all]GitRDun
(1,846 posts)I said that my understanding of the Constitutional issues was that the 2nd Amendment was about the right to bear arms with the two sides beliefs being:
1). The individual right to bear arms versus.
2). Only a militias right to bear arms, not the individual.
I went on to say my understanding has always been that the US vs. Miller case was the one that allowed government to regulate arms held by individuals. That is the extent of my knowledge on the Constitutional Law around the right to bear arms.
The references to hunting were nothing more than an honest attempt to discuss what might be a rational way to regulate the use of assault weapons or high volume magazines.
What I have learned from the discussion is that the pro-gun folks see the the anti-gun folks (who do not include me) as zealots who want everything banned, which means to me that no change to laws is possible, whether or not they improve things for anyone, pro-gun, anti-gun, or anyone else for that matter.
I enjoyed the discussion.
