Thanks for that interesting article from the Atlantic, and the story of the Black Panthers.
As Peter mentions in the first post on this thread the Second amendment doesn't refer to the right to hunt, but the right for civilians to arm themselves in case there's a need for another revolution and take the government back.
They want to ban A-47s and assault rifles, but they were the weapons that won the Libyan revolution, and would be needed if there is ever to be another violent revolution in the USA.
While I subscribe to a non-violent revolution, ala Ghandi and MLK, and as they tried to do in Egypt and early on in the Arab Spring revolts, there certainly is a need for people to take up such arms to fight bands of bullies, rogue African armies and the radical Islam militias that have violently taken over regions of Africa like Timbucktu and are physically imposing their religious laws on everyone.
You can't stop them with non-violent protests, they must either be persuaded by moderate Muslims or met with the same violence they use to impose their perverted will on others.
