It's good to see that someone else is arguing that the Congressional power “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water” implies that private citizens would have military arms, including the 18th century weapon of mass destruction, the cannon. And that power predated the second amendment.

Unfortunately or not, that backs up the argument for penumbra in the Constitution.
