The Second amendment isn't about hunting, target practice, personal protection or even passing down granddads old shotgun. It's about citizens, not subjects, being able to defeat tyranny.

I disagree, and so do many others. The 2nd Amendment is about
all of those things. You'd be hard pressed to find any evidence that the Founders considered armed insurrection to be the
only point of the 2A.

This is similar to how things are in places like Mexico and Argentina, in which civilians have some right to gun ownership, but are prohibited from owning weapons in similar firepower or caliber to those used by government agents (hence the continued popularity of .38 Super).
