“huh?” what?

Thread is about banning assault weapons.

Those wanting to ban usually appeal to the ignorance of not knowing the 2nd Amendment was written when high-capacity rapid-fire semi-automatic* weapons WERE known to those founding the country and writing the Constitution. “George Washington didn’t imagine AR15s!” they cry, unaware he looked into buying a large quantity of comparable rifles. “Thomas Jefferson would never have consented to AR15s!” they cry, unaware he gave Lewis & Clark something functionally similar. Sure, such was not optimized to the point Armalite achieved, but the basic concept was not surprising.

Side discussion briefly digressed into other guns of the era.

What’s to “huh?”?
