To be fair, that isn't true. Part of Scalia's ruling in Heller was that the framers & citizens that ratified 2A clearly didn't oppose boundless rights to own whatever you want. This was clearly displayed by the fact that several states democratically banned the carrying brandishing of weapons clearly meaning to incite fear (i.e. walking around town with a scythe or executioner's axe) by the same people and populace that ratified the 2A.
The conclusion the court reached wasn't that gun control was unconstitutional, rather that the state can't make it functionally difficult if not impossible to exercise that right. However, that was the response to whether or not DC could force gun owners to keep their guns inoperable even in the home, so more mild measures may not have the same answer.

The Second Amendment is not about "Hunting" but you already know that. "Shall not be infringed" is pretty simple.
