” It’s only recently that the second amendment has been linked to hunting ”
Um no Heller was the first court case to define the second amendment as appling to the everyday joe.
Until then it was debated with most interpreted it as referring only to a “well regulated militia” though the supreme court never decided.
Guess what year Heller was decided ?
“. I would think this is hashkafa 101, do you disagree ?”
So I ask yo uagian, why do you need guns? Obviosuly not for self defense nor to stop a rnegade governemtn nor even for hunting. Please dont tell me you think your gun can stop the will of the RBSO?
BTW
“bechira and punishment are discussed at length”
Yes though yo u dont seem to recall the discussion. The Ramban understands that the hardening his heart gave Pharoh back his bechira and he could have chosen to let us go. The Rambam holds that the hardening was part of the onesh for inital aveiros that he CHOSE to do and could have chosen not to.

“What regulation would you like added to”illegal to own”..”
Heres an easy one. Have all guns registered. (like in Israel) if a person buys more than 5, 10 15 20 (!!!!!) guns particularly in a short period it should trigger some sort of alert. We dont have to ban them neccesarily but maybe have someone take a quick looksie to see what he has planned.
