The dems: The 2A is about hunting

Meanwhile in Connecticut

State attorneys: hunting rifles are not “constitutionally” protected in Connecticut

As I’ve said before, once the “assault rifles” are out of the way then it’s “high powered sniper rifles” and “deadly street sweepers”

Well, the 2A isn't about hunting. The 2A was meant to guarantee a well armed militia, not effective deer and duck hunting. So, being intellectually honest, it's guns of military usefulness that are protected by the 2A.

Now, in an exististential fight for survival, scoped deer rifles are quite effective at long range sharp-shooting.  Duck guns (with a change of choke and switch to buckshot) are decent close quarter weapons.

So there's substantial overlap between hunting and militia weapons that winds up protecting hunting guns.

I would argue that the intent was to protect militia weapons, but the wording of the second amendment protects all weapons.

To say nothing of the fact that at the time many weapons served dual use - hunting and defense around the home, militia use when needed.

I was suprised to learn that quite a few early state constitutional RKBA provisions explictely mentioned hunting as one purpose of the law.

Hunting regulations in England were sometimes used to advance gun control, and it seems Americans were wary of that.

Apparently at one of the previous NY "gun buybacks", somebody brought in a ton of 3D printed guns that he made at home. For this next one, it's $25 total for 3D printed guns.  :rofl:

The $500 per "assault weapon" seems to still be a way to make some coin for an intrepid AR builder.

Here's are the states suing Glock over the ease of which they can be converted to full auto

Quote
While the lawsuit was only brought by New Jersey and Minnesota, the "larger coalition that will be working together includes 16 states in total," the New Jersey Attorney General's Office said to Newsweek. These states are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as Washington, D.C.

Woudn't this be like suing Colt and AR-15/lower receiver makers because you can use auto sear to convert AR-15 to full auto? - https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/full-automatic-conversions-ar-15-rifles

It's come up.
Colt for one makes, or used to, their lowers thicker in the auto sear area to prevent the easy installation of an AS.

You may has miss it but some congress critters have call for Glocks to be classified as machine guns because of how easy they are to convert. I know I've posted on that in here but a google search may bring some articles up.

So a 10 round mag limit is going to reduce suicides how?
