        There was a group of us, 4 boys, that took our rabbit, quail, and pheasant hunting very seriously.  22lr rifles for rabbit, and 12 or 20ga shotguns for birds. Never had a problem with them at school, or walking with them through the fields.
 Today I would only trust my sons, who I taught safety to, to walk with me to bust up game. To be honest, it will be another 3-4 months before I can do any walking. I went yhrough a ceiling 2 weeks age and broke my ancle. So now they escort me from the house to my private 400yd range. Then shag targets for everybody. Will cost me 2-3 hundred rounds ( the grand kids HAVE to shoot the 22rf).

        That's an odd question. My take is that gun nuts interpret the meaning of the amendment differently

        That's your idiosyncratic interpretation. There are two interpretations that are widely accepted
