Arms are arms. No delineations in the constitution between big and little, fully automatic or semi, just arms...........Where's your howitzer? Jefferson might ask if he were to be brought back today............

Please folks, understand the parlance of the time of the founders.
Arms meant firearms that could be carried by a person.
Ordinance is the term that was used when referring to weapons, such as cannons that required more than one person to operate. As such, a howitzer would be ordinance, not arms.
