Second Amendment is about protection, not hunting

Comparing firearms ownership and the Second Amendment to hunting is misinformation. Standing your ground and protecting your family, property and state is not hunting. I own and carry firearms because our forefathers fought for that right, knowing "a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state." While I may not be a candidate for the draft into our militia, I will go if necessary. In the meantime, I will defend myself, my family and my property. It is a fact that an armed citizen is more likely to stop an attack than provoke one. Source: 2014 New Hampshire Senate website, KarenTesterman.net , Dec 1, 2013
