The Framers could not have imagined in their wildest dreams a jam-packed airport,stadium,or mall.


I think you are mistaken. Many of the framers had first hand experience in crowded cities, including London and Paris.

Private cannon were legal. They could create as much havoc in a crowd as an AR15. Grenades and bombs were well known.

I’m guessing King Street in Boston was pretty crowded when that snowball fight broke out.
