Sonart I'm not a big fan of private gun ownership. That's not to say I'm endorsing a prohibition of ownership. But I see nothing wrong with licensing and training being firm requirements, and no one needs to own anything more powerful than a hunting rifle.
I couldn't disagree more.

It absolutely denies the reason for keeping and bearing arms, which is defense. The idea behind defense is being capable to meet the common threats you are likely to face, and hunting rifles are no match for assault rifles, combat rifles, or the hordes who carry them in the name of all nations, all states, etc.

Defense must be competent, or its not defense.

Where has the Constitution gone against my rights?
