As I've typed here before, the 2nd amendment does not give right. It is not about hunting or self defense. It is reaction to a concern that a government can get so powerful that it will disarm its own citizens to keep itself in power.
Remember, like the Sullivan law, gun control originally was about keeping guns out of the hands of the wrong people. And that was loosely defined as immigrants and negroes.
