Are the leftists pretending that the Second Amendment is about recreation - hunting and punching holes in targets? If it’s about hobbies, why was the Bill of Rights not written to also protect the right of the people to keep and bear golf clubs (invented in the 1500s) and dice (prehistoric).

The Constitution does not protect anyone’s right to hunt animals.

There is no unalienable right to kill animals for food or sport with a gun. Congress could outlaw the use of guns for hunting on Federal lands tomorrow and it would be constitutional. States could outlaw the use of guns for hunting in their states and it would likewise be constitutional.

The right to bear arms has nothing to do with hunting.

The second amendment was designed to put the fear of God into petty Tyrants and criminals like Obama and Cuomo. No wonder they are so bent on taking them away from everyone.
