Ms. Joline Gutierrez Krueger, it is not about hunting. The 2nd Amendment is about allowing you the means to protect yourself and family from human predators. That means a firearm and the ability to use it.

The 2nd Amendment is about allowing you the means to protect yourself and family from human predators.

Actually, as has often been pointed out, the purpose of the 2nd is to ensure that the government does not have a monopoly on force, that the People provide a counterbalance.

Ability to protect against other than governmental human predators is a nice side-effect, but it was not the reason the 2nd was created.
