All Hail the Second Amendment

Seriously?

Self defense against animal threat
Self defense against human threat

=Taking life. The fact that it may be in defense is beside the point.

Shooting sports (e.g. trap, skeet, target competition)

I added that one

I live where there are dangerous animals (e.g. bear, coyote, coywolf) and rabid animals (e.g. raccoons, foxes).

Have you ever tried to commune with these 'dangerous' animals to develop a relationship where fear and death are not the only features? Once upon a time I had many guns - I no longer need them.

Communing with a dangerous animal would likely be the very last thing someone would do.

And do you know how dangerous a rabid animal is? Your ideas are silly.
