Good writing, but I have got to disagree with ya... We gave them an inch in 1934, 1968, 1990, 1994 and look at where were at now. All gun essentially function the same. The same action you have in your hunting rifle was once used in a military rifle. Once they get done with any military style rifle your hunting rifle will be next. I responsibly own several military style rifles with 40 round clips etc., however just owning a hunting rifle would not make me any more or less responsible. Its not the type of gun you own, its whether you are responsible with them. As far as your handgun comments, I carry a concealed weapon that shoots a 9mm. I also carry one that shoot a .40 caliber. all have barrels shorter then the ones you describe. I don't carry a gun to go hunting, I carry one for protection. As far .45 to 9mm comment, same logic applied "If you can't handle the recoil .50 AE, you should carry mace". Sorry, not all people like the .45 round. I can shoot better with a .357 sig round then I can with a .45. People are built differently, my girlfriend can't hit anything with a 1911 model colt, but she can nail things at 15 to 25 yards with my 9mm Sig.
