Yeah but democrats don't care about little things like logic...

Their response would be 'the 2A applies to a 'state regulated milita'.

Their response would be 'the 2A applies to a 'state regulated milita'.

Or something about muskets.

Their response would be 'the 2A applies to a 'state regulated milita'.

I'd throw it right back at them:

1) What "state militia" would that be? You don't mean the National Guard which is federally funded, federally-trained, and occupies federal land, do you?

2). Heller vs DC and McDonald vs Chicago have already settled that. The 2nd means exactly what it says, and while you're entitled to your opinion, in the legal realm that part of the discussion is over.

But.. but... how about the children?

Joking aside... Liberals have a special selective sense of logic. They love freedom of speech but hate right to bear arms. They promote illegal immigration but try to criminalize law-abiding CITIZENS. They preach tolerance and unity.... BUT ONLY if you compromise on your own beliefs and not theirs.

Muskets is easy.

Technology has advanced. The Bill Of Rights was written knowing that would happen. That's why free speech and privacy apply to the internet and not just your snail mail.

If you want to get granular, the wording isn't even specific to firearms. It is open enough from sticks, to spears to lasers and wherever science takes us.

Arms comes from Old French armes, from Latin arma. It meant then what it means now as far as I can make out.
