I'm curious about what support you have for your belief that the 2ndAm was written to include every weapon or destructive device known to an 18th century soldier.
When Paul Revere rode through town yelling, "To arms...to arms!", I am quite sure no one grabbed an explosive mine or cannon.
Spunkets:
You can only be sure of that, because no one had any at hand.
Curious denial of history you two posit. Cannons and black powder were "at hand" in colonial America to any ordinary person who had a use for them.
I'm curious about where you two got your belief that the 2nd was written to enable restrictions on the ownership of weapons or destructive devices known to an 18th century soldier.
Sounds like the discredited book -- "Arming America, The Origins of a National Gun Culture" By MICHAEL A. BELLESILES.
PAy attn. No one had any at hand in Lexington and Concord.
"I'm curious about where you two got your belief that the 2nd was written to enable restrictions on the ownership of weapons or destructive devices known to an 18th century soldier."
Try exercising your curiosity and go find where I said anything like that.

I'd say your post was generated using the same techniques that he did. Have some coffee and wake up.
