      I have a thing about boning up on firearms tech as rhetorical self-defense for dumb Facebook arguments and went on a research jag about this last week. I don’t think this is a supportable argument. People really do hunt with AR-15s, and do so because they’re better tools.https://twitter.com/emilymaxima/status/963939286474280962 …

      I’m loathe to get into the gun debate, but hyperbolic talk about needing an assault rifle for hunting isn’t furthering this discussion. People want these weapons because they feel they may need to use them against the government some day. This is what we need to talk about. https://twitter.com/ajentleson/status/963918348621942784 …

      I think the argument is: There's a trade-off between having our policies be hunting friendly or human death unfriendly. Even if you believe that you should be somewhat hunting friendly, the cost/benefit starts to really go south with semi-automatics.

          Sure, people might use semi-automatics for hunting, but banning them doesn't make a policy overall "hunting unfriendly". It just makes it not as hunting friendly as you could possibly be.

          The 2nd amendment was never about hunting - it's about arming yourself against a tyranical government. You can argue it's naïve, anachronistic, or not worth the cost in murders; but saying it's for hunting is a strawman.

          The majority of all serving Supreme Court justices since the amendment was drafted disagree with you about that.

          They think the authors of the Constitution were so concerned about hunting rights that they made the second amendment to protect hunters, while talking about militias but not about hunting?

          No, the notion that 2A is about an individual right to resist a tyrannical government. Obviously, in a sense, all the amendments about resisting a tyrannical government, but 2A was for most of the last 200 years about states, not people.

          "the right of the people" is a weird way to phrase an amendment about jurisdiction, but IANASCJ. In either case, hunting is still a strawman.

          Heller is just 10 years old, and was a 5-4 decision. Every court before that found rational basis standard for 2A restrictions.

          Even if that weren’t true, a 5-4 decision would strongly suggest this issue is nowhere nearly as simple as RKBAs say it is. But, no, 5-4 and 221 preceding years of jurisprudence.

          What I hate about the American gun debate is that they act like it's the first place or time it's happening. Want lots of guns + safety? Look to Canada, Switzerland, or Israel! Want very few guns + safety? Look to Australia, Germany, or the UK! We've already figured this out.

          And with no disrespect @wycats the problem isn't semi-automatics or carbines or pistols; the problem is a lack of cultural seriousness which leads to a lack of sane gun laws. I'd rather have full automatics and Canada's gun laws than simple 22 gauges and America's.

          It isn't about hunting at all. Most gun owners / users don't hunt. We try to hit clay plates or targets on the irons at 200 yards. But if you have a "yee-haw" attitude towards guns and you think using guns on dimly lit home invaders is rational then a lot more people die.
