I fully support Michael’s right to amend the US Constitution if he can convince enough Americans to agree the 2nd Amendment is outdated. Maybe he’s even right. Maybe the founders didn’t envision powerful, modern weapons. It’s really as simple as that. The US Constitution isn’t written in stone. It’s flexible. All one has to do is convince enough people to vote to change it.
(That, of course, would take too much work for the likes of Michael and most liberals. That’s why they opt for judicial fiat.)
I think the reason they used the word “Arms” is evidence that they did foresee advances in weapons. Also means they did not restrict the right to only guns. It also includes knives, swords, spears or any other personal arms.
