But they wrote "right of the people", not the "right of the militia".

I'd guess that the majority of people hunted back then, so most would have had
hunting weapons. But the Founding Fathers did not say the "right of all hunters shall
not be infringed"

I'm not somebody who believes in a strict interpretation of beliefs from the 1700's,
the Founding Fathers could not have dreamed of the amount of firepower available to
everybody in 2023 America. I'd like to think that adults in 2023 America would be
able to work this out, especially with the number of mass shootings that occur in America these days. But the NRA and it's hard core followers have deeply dug in their heels in the
"no compromise" line in the sand. I'm a gun owner, I know other gun owners, most are
willing to register their guns, and feel that AR's should be banned. A few that I know
are not willing to compromise at all.

Why can't this be placed on the ballot and voted on by the American people ?
Prohibition ( 18th Amendment ) was repealed by the 21st Amendment, why can't the
2nd Amendment be repealed ?
I don't know the answer, but I know it involves a whole lot of money being made by
the firearms industry.
