If you are satisfied with that, then good for you.
However, This country was founded on the priniciples of individual freedom, and the power flows from the people to the government, not the other way around. Our founders beleived that people have natural rights, and the Bill of Rights in our Constitution sets out to protect those rights, specifically from the power of the government.
The ownership of firearms is part of our natural right to self defense and self determination. The 2nd Amendment was put into the Bill of Rights because the people had fought to throw off a tyranical government and they wanted to make sure they had the ability to do that again if neccesary. And that's the real reason why limitations you can live with for hunting are completely irrellevant to gun ownership in this country.
