I don’t need judges to tell me what “arms” encompasses. From a one-inch folding blade to a rail-mounted howitzer, it’s all protected under the Second Amendment, NO MATTER WHAT some judge might say.

No, the Militia Act of 1791 defined the arms protected by the 2nd Amendment as being non-crew-served.

A Howitzer is crew-served. A submachine-gun is not. Same for nukes, crew-served.

If the arm/weapon is crew-served, then government can control it.

Clearly ordinary firearms are not crew-served.

Thus goes the law...
