The right to bear arms is for self defense as well as last resort in case of being conquered/opressed. Hunting is not "Nessecary to the security of a free state". It is what was determine to be a right everyone deserves when this nation's constitution was made. If we got rid of ammendments IV-VIII there would be much less crime, but we'd lose some of our freedoms and values in the process. To me it all comes down to trust, our government should trust us enough to allow us firearms. It not trusting us with firearms would be a bad sign.
