    Reminder that “muh 2a” was written over a half a century before the first mass produced revolver and the conical bullet.

    Guns were a very different concept and proposition for the founders. The very few weapons of the time that could be fired more than once in quick succession were commissioned individually crafted curiosities.

      Also remember that freedom of the press meant physical printing presses where you had to manually move each piece of type by hand, and physically crank the press; anything more modern than that clearly wasn’t what they intended, and you shouldn’t have it. Like computers; there’s no typesetting on a computer, so you need to get rid of them.

      Oh, and freedom of religion? That only includes Judeo-Christian religions. Sorry, Wiccans, no religious rights for you.
