[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 3113625, member: 18914"] Do any of the 2nd Amendment establishment discussions, apart from references to English Common Law, I stand corrected the purpose of hunting is one of the purposes behind the 2nd Amendment, but I would characterize it as a secondary or inferior reason. I believe that I am backed up in this by the language of Heller: "It is therefore entirely sensible that the Second Amendment’s prefatory clause announces the purpose for which the right was codified: to prevent elimination of the militia. The prefatory clause does not suggest that preserving the militia was the only reason Americans valued the ancient right; most undoubtedly thought it even more important for self-defense and hunting. But [I][B]the threat that the new Federal Government would destroy the citizens’ militia by taking away their arms was the reason that right[/B][/I]—unlike some other English rights—[I][B]was codified in a written Constitution[/B][/I]." (Heller, P26, emphasis mine) Here is the link to Heller Text - [URL]https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
