I don't hunt or own a gun. Can you explain what you mean?

The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I'll jump in. The 2nd Amendment has absolutely NOTHING to do with hunting or "sporting purposes." The founding fathers intention was for citizens to have the weapons necessary to fight against an oppressive government should such a government ever come to power.

And by the way, the term "well-regulated" is misunderstood.
Modern day liberals assume it means government interference, which they love, but in the 18th century
it meant "well trained."

[Wilhelm Tell]

Politicians who want to ban most guns try to sound moderate by saying that they support the right of hunters to enjoy their sport, etc. Then when they are elected they come out with a long list of guns that they declare hunters "don't need" to have in order to hunt. Such politicians will say that no "hunter needs a handgun, no hunter needs an 'assault rifle' and no hunter needs a 'sniper rifle'" and so on.

Probably such a politician would allow (note the word "allow") you to keep an expensive shotgun if you owned a large estate and he would allow you to hire armed security guards for your gated community, but that is about it. It is a clever but tired attempt to divide gunowners (the "bad" people who own handguns or rifles vs. the mythical "hunter" who is so good because "needs" fewer and fewer types of firearms). Most gunowners are on to this trick -- whether they hunt or not.

The poster likely meant that "hunting" is not the reason for the Second Amendment and that pandering to hunters won't do diddley for the pandering candidate, Romney, Giuliani or McLame, whoever...

"Anyone who frames his comments with "hunting" has a long way to go to become convincing."

Many liberals and those who never learned to diagram sentences, and never read the Constitution and Bill of Rights think that the 2nd Amendment has something to do with hunting or the military.
This also explains why Johnny can't read and the liberals like it that way.
