If I want to set my mind back in 1791, I could seriously interpret the 2nd Amendment to mean that we citizens are entitled to way more than just guns.

We are entitled to own and use all weapons that the world’s military forces use in modern warfare - field artillery, tanks, fighter jets, aircraft carriers, etc.

Obviously that isn’t gonna sell. And, we can’t afford it.

But, the way I understand it, our founding fathers wanted us to be prepared to defend ourselves with equipment just as powerful as that used by the “King’s Military”.

So, now are we just begging for a right to have the equivalent of bows and arrows in a laser warfare ray-gun world?

Unless, perhaps, our military comes over to our side. That is something to think about.
