" Who here thinks the writers of the constitution could have possibly foreseen the innovations in weaponry that would occur over the next 230+ years?" quote chukardogs
I do!

Based on what "they've" seen in innovations of weaponry in their time. They knew times would continue to change, its one of the reasons it took 3 days of debates to form the "wordings" of the 2A.
Every "weapon" WE the PEOPLE have or do own, at one time was a military weapon! There is a point of time in our history, the PEOPLE were better armed then our military was!
That's why you don't find type of action, caliber, looks, etc in the 2A wording. "A Republic madam, if you can keep it" Benjamin Franklin
Democracy's always lead to Tyrants!
FYI, gun control (loss of Freedoms)started in 1934.
Never a D!!
