Firearms are merely tools that enable free men to overthrow opressive governments. Hunting and self-defense are secondary to the first. Our Founding Fathers knew that all forms of government become opressive over time. They gave us in the USA a powerful deterent to that happening here. Banning firearms is not possible. Any gunsmith or machinist can build from scratch an operational single shot in two days, a semi-automatic in two weeks and a full-automatic in a month. One can never put the genie of knowledge back into the bottle. Mastering the use of a firearm to a high degree of accuracy is very satisfying and is a useful skill. It is also absolutely necessary to the responsible firearm owner.
