[QUOTE="Mac76, post: 1700860, member: 106898"] Thank you for your reply. It’s very interesting to hear from people, especially hunters, from around the world. The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution was born out of a historic background that rejected the notion that kings had the right to rule over men. The 2A isn’t about hunting or sports shooting (often heavily regulated in other countries). The 2A is a final defense against a tyrannical government. “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.“— from the US Declaration of Independence - written by Thomas Jefferson [/QUOTE]
