^ You seriously think people will look at their hunting rifles and say "I want to kill this guy, its a shame this is only for shooting dear?"
Again, hunting is not a right. The 2nd amendment was made to allow militias (old school gangs) to be armed, it never mentioned hobbies or hunting. You don't have a right to a hobby.
Also, that "defend my house against an invasion" bullshit has absolutely no bearing statistically. You are far more likely to shoot a loved one than an invader. You should know that, Its been well proven and established. Empirically, guns make houses less safe. There is evidence of it, its not a theory or hypothesis.
For some reason though, there is this male macho asshole personality type (not necessarily anybody here in particular) that ignores the facts of it, and people act like buying a gun for self defense is not the terrible idea that it is.
Simply put- guns are the WORST thing to buy to keep your family safe.
I've mentioned it here before, but according to statistics, if keeping your house or family safe are your top priority, the best thing you can buy is a medium to large dog. They work better than guns, security systems, and just about anything else. Life is lived on the margins. People hear a dog and they move to the next house. There is no way of telling whether the owner has a gun, and most gun owners are scared to shoot.
So to put it simply, there is no evidence that any good comes from keeping guns legal at all. The people who want to keep guns legal are nothing more than assholes with some weird macho complex, people who haven't looked into the facts behind their hypotheses, or people who don't actually understand that guns play no role whatsoever in current day political power dynamics.
