The NRA Institute for Legislative Action said hunting is protected by the Second Amendment even though the amendment never names hunting. It argued that limits on semi-automatic guns also threaten other lawful purchases, ammunition, and ownership, so hunters who use bolt-action rifles or muzzleloaders still have a stake. Political campaigns and advocacy groups are courting hunters over public land, hunting access, wildlife management, and conservation. NRA-ILA pointed to a Bondi Beach massacre involving a bolt-action hunting rifle as a warning that hunters should not trust claims that only certain firearms will be restricted. It said hunters must defend those rights together or lose them when attention turns to their own guns.
