Except for the quotes from the Founders saying "every terrible implement of the soldier is be every Americans birthright".

So what terrible weapons would you infringe upon. None?

"Except for the quotes from the Founders saying "every terrible implement of the soldier is be every Americans birthright".

First of all the actual quote is, "Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American ..."

Second, the quote is from Tench Coxe, a friend of James Madison. Mr. Coxe was not a Founding Father.
