Yes there is.

falls under “arms” in the second amendment.

thus, keep your grubby commie hands off all weapons owned by the law abiding.

Back in the day the democrats were trying to ban handguns, using the “logic” that the 2nd Amendment was for weapons of war, not for .38 revolvers.

“Arms” is arms. Privateers (private people/corporations) had their own ships with cannon on them to protect their fleets. And they were called (ordered?) into service by the colonies to fight the Revolutionary War.

I forget the ratio of private cannon vs. government naval cannon during the Revolution, but something like 500 to 1. Private militia also had their own land-based cannon.
