Thereto, if you want to get more perspective about the intent of the 2nd amendment, look to what the people that wrote it said elsewhere, and other powerful politicians also said at the time it was being written. I think you'll find that the common view was in support of the individual's right as a means of personal as well as communal security and safety. Hunting had nothing to do with the intent of the amendment. Being able to protect the lives of yourself and your loved ones, either individually or as a member of a community, was the paramount concern.
