So where in the Holy Second Amendment do they mention hunting or felons? [View all]

The federal government issues hunting regulations for migratory waterfowl hunting.

They tell you what gun to use (shotgun)

They tell you how many shells you may load (no more than 3).

They tell you what ammo to use (non-toxic shot).

Government tells felons they cannot possess or handle any firearms.

Where Oh Where in the Holy 2A is any of this mentioned?

The hoariest NRA member has no problem with government "infringing" on the rights of duck hunters to bear arms as they please.

They have no problem with government "infringing" on the right of felons to "bear arms" period.

But when you start to mention any of this in context with assault rifles, .50 cal sniper rifles, high capacity clips or ammo regulations they hoot and holler...

"but hunting is different" "felons are different".

Really?

Because you say so?

Not buying it.

nope

If the government can regulate duck hunters and deny felons guns, it can pass strict regulations on any and all firearms and ammo.

yup
