Sorry but I don't like guns and I don't hunt.

But when your second amendment was written it was ball and musket not high powered assault rifles. My point is that those types of guns aren't for hunting. Blasting a large round of projectiles at an animal isn't sportsmanship and where are those other bullets going at a high rate of velocity?

You have every right to your opinion. I have several friends that feel the same as you. Don't like guns. Don't hunt. That does not remove my right to do both. The second amendment has absolutely nothing to do with hunting. when that amendment was written, the firearms were ball and musket. That's what the people had, and that's what the government had. The second amendment was written for this reason. A quotation by Thomas Jefferson.
