There are people in the U.S. who hunt to put food on the table. Among them my sister's neighbors.

What the Second Amendment says is: A well regulated militia being necessary to any state the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged.

When that was written, most towns had a militia that met on the village green and drilled regularly. Most Americans were farmers. Guns were single shot muzzle loaders.

The world has changed,

There was a time when even the NRA understood that, and pushed Congress to keep automatic weapons out of the hands of folks like Baby Face Nelson. Not a bad move. They became hardline in the sixties.
