  1. I couldn't agree more. Reporters talking about firearms is equivalent to me opining about ballet. Just a lack of comprehension. I can't imagine the Founding Fathers only sought to protect hunting and sport shooting rights. First, I would imagine nearly all males in mid-18th century America hunted. To enshrine the right to hunt in the constitution would be analogous to enshrining the right to drink coffee. Also, was there such a thing a sport shooting in the mid-18th century? The only examples I can think of would be dueling and shooting birds with no intention of eating them.

  2. I would just find it progress it they appeared to have an idea what a Semi-Automatic actually was
