"Small arms are not specified in th US Constitution."

True, they are only listed in the writings of the founders and in the state and federal militia acts that were written in support of the second amendment. There was a complete lack of mention of artillery in these same documents.

Earlier I thought the thread was pulled so I privately sent this response to your "other writings of the founders" rather than the Constitution bit. I'll post it in the open now.

Using your logic, since Jefferson owned slaves and slaves are not mentioned as being Men and Women in the Constitution, then slavery was OK?
