This is the jist of it, the founding fathers knew very well that innovation and change would occur and intended the amendments to cover them as well. The list is endless, by that logic then any religion not known to the founders isn’t protected by the 1st, any technology invented after ratification that transmits information(computers, tv, internet, fax ect isn’t protected by the 1st, it goes on and on. The founders intended the 2nd amendment to cover all firearms for citizens especially those in use by the military, most of the founders wrote on this specifically so it’s not like their intentions can reasonably be disputed. Biden often states that the second amendment doesn’t cover a cannon which is blatantly false, the revolution was helped greatly by private citizens that were paid to use their private ships(which had nice big private cannons) of war during the fight, and in 1791 through almost two hundred more years you could own as many cannons as you wished. The reality is that the same people that say that the second amendment is only for muskets will use any irrational or untrue argument that benefits their world view. For the most part these are the same people who supported masks, quarantine by the government, lockdowns, censorship of anything said they disagree with, safe spaces, government intrusion into churches, and government spying on its own citizens. While at the same time they will quote chapter and verse if they believe a certain amendment benefits them, and invent amendments that don’t exist, two obvious examples are abortion and the separation of church and state, neither of which are found in the constitution. Their argument is inherently dishonest because they are trying to get around something that is plainly stated because it suits their own end, not because it has any intellectual merit. The bottom line is simple, the 2nd amendment was specifically designed to keep the same firearms in the hands of citizens that are in the hands of the government, and the library of congress has pages upon pages of documents where those who wrote the 2nd amendment stated that was exactly their intention. The only mistake the founders made was being brief and direct in writing the actual amendment assuming we couldn’t possibly screw up or not understand “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.”
Ask them if the first ammendment only applies to quills and parchment. Your rights remain your rights regardless of the tech you use.
Oh, but what about those high capacity fountain pens that can write a whole page or two before reloading? And God forbid those dreaded bic ball points that can write for days and still be an armor piercing deadly weapon.
My yearbook quote was 'The pen is mightier than the sword... and I have a word processor."Oh, but what about those high capacity fountain pens that can write a whole page or two before reloading?

I guess we should just ban writing
Indeed...not only allowed, but you could apply for Letters of Marque and go out and use that frigate and its cannons to take or destroy ships/land emplacements of whoever was considered the enemy of the day.
Paging Sirhr, please pick up the white courtesy phone (oh shit is that racist, so pick up the rainbow courtesy phone).My usual response to this line of thought is that most of the Cannons were privately owned. They were also included in this along with those Flintlock Muskets......... So I want cannons and ammo for them. Hell, I will even take a 1776 era cannon and ammo.........
This makes the Libtards freak out.
Steen Cannons.Paging Sirhr, please pick up the white courtesy phone (oh shit is that racist, so pick up the rainbow courtesy phone).
Can we get a group buy started on cannons and maybe armed frigates?
I bet the German would like a frigate to add to his unterwasser navy.
I'm thinking about just buying some schedule 180 pipe and making some throw away mobile howitzers out of Craftsman riding lawn mowers.

Yeah... but he still owes the world an apology for that "Wango the Tango" shit.
Ted Nugent - Is that you? Or do you just get a commission.
If any of those 90 million people that were murdered by their governemnt were able to speak today, would they agree that gov’t as we know it is necessary for their safety and well being. I wonder what their family members would say?
Is that you in the assless Pants on the wall? ;-)
Hope your thong matches the chaps
Not to derail this otherwise stimulating thread….
More modern times, but legal at the time (though these watermen poached like crazy)...I present the punt gun. But according to the Dimwits, only smurf guns are protected by the 2nd A
Fixed it for you!
And even today you would not want to get hit with a hunk of lead from a black powder rifle.
That's a cool piece.
Those are clean.
