Every serious citizen should have at hand:

* At least two hunting rifles -- one for small game, and one for deer-sized game

Nitpick: Not all serious citizens hunt. In fact, the vast majority of gunowners in the Unites States are not hunters. Other than that, I would agree with your list.

"Not all serious citizens hunt."

As I said in #35, "My numbers reflect reality for the [very rural] region in which I live."

The beauty of our constitutional system is that each of us is free to decide to what extent we will choose to exercise our rights. I respect your choice -- whatever that is.

OTOH, I have zero tolerance for any other citizen's (or the government's) effort to impose their own limitation on my rights (or yours, for that matter).

FWIW, I stopped hunting in the mid-1970s -- for reasons that seem right to me.

OTOH, given the present instability of our economy, I have elected to greatly enlarge the size of our vegetable garden. And I have retained my hunting equipment (and have maintained my skills) so that, should the need arise, we will not be limited to a vegetarian diet... (BTW, during the rationing in WWII, my family lived quite well on our "Victory Garden", home-canned food, and the chickens and rabbits we raised -- supplemented by the game and fish we harvested.)

Again, those choices are ours -- and no one else's...
