Not a damn thing about hunting mentioned in the 2nd Amendment. Zip. Zilch. Nada. OTOH, Article 1 Section 8 defines the missions of the militia (which as currently legally defined in 10 USC 311, is all able-bodied males 17-45) as follows ... a) “execute the laws of the union” b) “suppress insurrections” and c) “repel invasions.” At a minimum, the 2nd prohibits the government from infringing on an individual right (thank you Alan Gura, Bob Levy, et al for Heller v. DC) to keep and bear arms suitable for those missions. Arms in current use by our military would be ideal for such missions, such as the M4/M16 or the M249 Minimi SAW, grenades, bayonets, the M9 (Beretta 9mm) pistol, etc. We have quite a few unconstitutional gun laws on the books at this time, and we should dump them.

We could dump all 20,000 of them.
