Respectfully ...
This entire discussion at hand is irrelevant. What should be discussed, (if possible) is the significance of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. It is not about hunting. It is about the required necessity of a armed citizens ability to overthrow a bad tyrannical government.
We can no more hack at the Second Amendment than we can discuss restricting Freedom Of Speech. Consider not having the right to post threads and opinions on this Fine Forum. Consider many real deal restrictive laws, rules and regulations PROHIBITING free speech under threat of prison.
Let us take it some steps further. Freedom of Religion. Can you imagine machine gun toting death troopers storming into your place of worship and arresting or gunning down the preacher? Or you? We already have this regarding the many insanities of existing gun control laws. Very scary indeed.
Or ... if you are not religiously oriented and many are not, consider armed government agents busting down your front door of your castle and seizing papers and possessions without a warrant or legal due process. Can you imagine that in the USA? We already have it with the many gun laws.
The discussion at hand considering "Each Side Being Equal" is ridiculous and may indicate very limited knowledge of the US Constitution and what it means to US Citizens. If you do not live and work in the USA then some ignorance is acceptable. But NOT if you are a USA Citizen and use this Forum.
