I'll even take the argument one step further -- When drafting the 2nd Amendment, the Founding Fathers had smooth bore muskets and pistols and swords in mind and therefore, the right to bare anything other than a smooth bore musket or pistol or sword is not protected under the 2nd Amendment. The moral of the story is that you're going to be a strict constructionist, then you had better be consistent and be careful what you wish for.
