The Constitution allowed slavery too but things change and people are tired of seeing their fellow citizens leaving schools, churches, movie theaters, etc. in body bags. To paraphrase Barry Goldwater`s words, "if you need an assault weapon to hunt deer or whatever, perhaps hunting isn`t the sport for you".
The right to bear arms has nothing to do with hunting.
BTW, Sen. Goldwater is right. Shooting deer with a machine gun really isn't very sporting.
But that isn't the purpose for most people to pack heat. The idea is to protect oneself, not to seek a "fair" fight where the adversary has a sporting chance.
