The reason we have the right to bear arms is not to shoot wolves as the author suggests, or put meat on the table, or to defend ourselves against predators of the human sort. The real reason we have the right to bear arms is so we can shoot the King.
Jefferson thought a revolution was needed about every generation. You can't have a decent revolution if you can't shoot.

The Second Amendment is the most important Amendment. It protects all other rights. The Second Amendment is the only thing standing between freedom and tyranny. Take away the Second Amendment, the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" becomes "Land of the Tyranny, Home of the Slaves".
