R.K. Sprau,
The rights to the acquisition of game had nothing to do with the reasons for the second amendment.
Civilians need military assault weapons as a counter-balance to a potential corrupt military. Can any nation rely 100% on the perpetual allegiance of its military? No.
The Founders also included restrictions on the size of our military for the same reason.
I agree with you that the problem isn't the weapons, but I don't the type of weapons either. If the type of weapons were the problem, then our military would be racked with carnage, but they're not. Like I said to the big-game hunting braggart above, "It's a poor carpenter who blames his tools".
The problem is the combination of a wide array of American maladies, embedded into our culture, some of which you quite correctly cited.
