A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I don't see anything about wildlife or sportsmanship there.

So, bow hunting should be legal, but not hunting with a gun?
Chain downvoating a question. Ok.

You are armed with a bow when you wield a bow. Arms includes all weapons.
But in the context of the debate, it's generally considered to be firearms. Even in within the context of the video, it's talking about firearms.

That is only because firearms are the arms of the day. You don't see marines in the middle east with bows and longsword.
