I believe that hunting weapons should be legal (bolt-action rifles,

handguns) or actual real automatic weapons.


The purpose of the 2nd Amendment was not just to allow us to just shoot
and hunt or protect our person. It was aimed at helping to keep an
oppressive government at bay.

You can't back that assertion up with any citations to, you know, actual
writings from the founders or other historical research, can you?


Look at the huge thread here with Jefferson's comment about criminal and
government.

A thread on this newsgroup is hardly citable. In fact the whole thread was
predicated on a falsehood (TJ never said that).


Not quite that way:
