If this is the basis for their lack of compromise, then it has nothing to do with their interest in hunting or self-defense, but only in their interest in possessing weapons of mass murder, however they may justify it in their arguments.
The Second Amendment is not about hunting. It is to have, in the people, the military power to face down the government.
The intolerance shown by the left, and the calls for violence against the right, only reaffirm the need for an armed populace.
During this time when the American people have a government that believes in America, we should repeal the unconstitutional laws of 1934 and later that made many arms carried by the standing army difficult or impossible to legally be owned by the public. Maybe if we can get another 1 or 2 Supreme Court Justices who believe in the original intent of the Constitution, those laws can be struck down.
The State question, is still an open Constitutional one. It is possible, that 40 or so states can have freedom of firearms ownership, while the Utopia of California can have a monopoly of force for the government and the criminal gangs.
