When the 2nd amendment was written, I doubt the founding fathers had WMD (which are arms), tanks, machine guns, hand grenades, etc. in mind. If by arms, the writers meant single shot musket and maybe rifles, I think everyone is on board with that. I don't think you should be able to keep a nuke in your house and even a hand grenade or RPG is out of bounds.

Actually, WMD would be ordnance.

When the 1st amendment was written, I doubt the founding fathers had in mind the internet, which any citizen can use to broadcast dangerous opinions around the world. Clearly the 1st amendment should be limited to speech transmitted in-person, by town crier or on paper.
