That's YOU. Others feel differently and the Founders agreed with THEM.

Oh spare me that crap. The founders were faced with muskets that took 30 seconds or so to reload and with relatively small cannon. They would drop their false teeth if they saw an AC-130 in operation or even a mini-gun. I doubt they would be as caviler as you think they would be.

It's hardly "caviler" on their part. Only the technology has changed, NOT the principles. And THAT they would understand full well. Unlike you modern gun grabbers.

Yes, they had muskets.
Their opponents had muskets.
And I'm sure they wish they had something better than muskets when faced with muskets.

Today, combatants show up with M16s, AK47s, RPGs, tanks, howitzers, Apaches, AC-130s, miniguns, etc.
Dropped into today's realities, the Founding Fathers would want exactly the same things - and more. Yes, after they picked up their false teeth - immediately after.
Faced with AK47s, they would NOT say "I have a musket, that's enough". They'd want AC-130s.

Does it bother you that there are a whole lot of posters on DU who have a better understanding of the 2nd Amendment than you?
