    I mean those are two reasons it was kept, but there’s also:

    • It’s based on a historical English law
    • Wild predators
    • Police back then were sometimes days away (and still hours away today in some cases)
    • Hunting for food
    • Shooting the French
    • Shooting the Spanish
    • The revolutionists were tired of raiding garrisons every time they needed armament
    • The founding fathers wanted to keep their war ships
