The Second Amendment was added to the Constitution in 1791, and at that time, the "arms" available were muskets and flintlock pistols. The Founding Fathers could not have foreseen the development of modern firearms, such as semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. There has to be a line drawn in the sand where "arms" are capable of killing too many people at once, or are you ok with people claiming nuclear weapons are "arms" covered by the Second Amendment?

What the Founding Fathers didn't foresee is the development of Marxist idealogues like you! They thought "shall not be infringed" was very VERY CLEAR, but apparently some people just don't understand basic English. Even if they didn't foresee guns like this, the point is VERY VERY CLEAR -- if the Government can have it, the people need it to defend their sacred liberties. Doesn't matter how powerful it is, the people can only be safe IF THEY ARE ARMED. And for the HUNDRED MILLIONTH TIME, CROOKS DON'T FOLLOW LAWS! If you ban assault weapons, CROOKS WILL GET THEIR HANDS ON THEM! All gun control does ice HURT the little guy! It benefits drug kingpins, illegal aliens, and Marxist rioters at the EXPENSE of GOd-fearing farmers, family-men, and middle-class, blu-collar workers!

You misspelled "ideologues", "is" and "blue-collar"
@WhatisaWoman?11mos11MO
His point still stands though.
@PoliticalPortDemocrat11mos11MO
Indeed, if his main point was
some people just don't understand basic English
