"The pistol and hunting rifle is not enough . Please read the 2nd Amendment . It does not mention hunting as a reason for firearm owership or a reason for firearm ownership . What the 2nd Amendment refers to is modern military weapons . So , yes , we 'need ' military weapons . The purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to defend democracy from enemies of democracy who are armed with modern military weapons . The 2nd Amendment does not mean I fight the enemies of democracy with hunting guns . It means I fight back with the same guns they will probably be shooting at ME with ."
"Well when the second amendment was written , `` modern military weapons `` were black powder rifles . Feel free to defend yourself with black powder rifles . In addition , what are the non-recreational benefits of guns . In other words , what would we lose by taking away automatic guns ( since I know your manly self could never part with every weapon you own . )"
