One thing that is almost never talked about in the gun control debate is the real reason the Founding Fathers made the Second Amendment.
It was not for hunting or even personal protection. America just finished the Revolutionary War and the only reason America was even able to put up a fight was because the private citizens brought their own, personal guns to fight.
Imagine if, at that time the government said, “it is not reasonable that the private citizen should have such a powerful weapon as a muzzle loader” and then they passed legislation that the private citizen only “needed” a bow and arrow.
