And as I replied, You first. Show us the definition of "Arms."
Nor is that definition in the Constitution, although it is a more concrete term, and easier to define.
“Natural born citizen” appears obvious to me given the Naturalization Law of 1790 in which Congress decrees it to include at birth citizen based also on blood descent. From the Congressional Record we see they simply appropriated Blackstone’s commentary on that subject, and appear to have used “natural born citizen” in the same way as Blackstone used “natural born subject.”
So, it’s obvious....if you ask ME.
