From my swords to rifles, there is no way that they could not be classified as militia related arms, since each and every one of them were used by the militia in actual combat.

Given what special forces worldwide have used since 1939, anything from a sharp stick to a nuke would seem to be protected as useful to the militia. OK, maybe a nuke is going too far - but I cannot buy into any restriction any weapon that can be carried by a single average soldier.

Can you please give me an answer to a nagging question I have about this "Bear" Part of the Constitution. Why are people fixated on what size of load a person can bear? Are not all arms equal?

I think there is sufficient evidence that Cannon were privately owned during the Revolution and that congress was authorized to hire privateers to go after the British with there private cannon. I haven't found the evidence to prove it yet, but I suspect that our artillerymen probably used beasts of burden to move their field guns.In recent times we have resorted to Motor trans[port to move all sorts of arms and ammunition throughout the battle zone.

The following picture shows a truck named by none other than the USMC as a "Weapons carrier" If I could use this truck to carry weapons I used while in service to thhis country, Why am I restricted now to only those weapons which I can carry?

The Dodge M37 (G-741) was a ¾ ton four-wheel drive truck. It superseded the Dodge WC-51 and WC-52 trucks in US service and was used extensively by the United States armed forces during the Korean war.
