Nothing at all said about guns, rifles, or muskets. Keep and bear arms means all types of arms, including crew served weapons (cannon, mortars, etc) and armed navel vessels.

There was a time our country counted on privately owned armed ships to protect our coast.

It is crystal clear the right has NOTHING to do with hunting.

The first gun-control Liberal [from Scotland] accidently shot and killed himself with his own pistol in 1845 in NY mountains [Adirondacks].

In the 19th century it was commonplace to see men walking down the street with loaded rifles and nobody cared except a gun-control Liberal foreigner. {Whom does that remind you of?]

viz:
“It is singular to observe how often men fall victims to that which they most dread and most guard against. Mr. Henderson was nervously afraid of firearms so much so that he could not see a man passing along the street with a gun on his shoulder without going out to inquire if it was loaded.” [1845]
p18. “Letters from the backwoods and the Adirondac” [sic]
By Joel Tyler Headley, pub. J.S. Taylor, 1850

Guess I missed the part that says “..right to keep and bear single shot black powder muskets only....”. Certifiable fookin’ idjit on display.
