When the Founders wrote the Second Amendment, the largest guns they had were muskets. The modern bullet had not yet been invented. They could only shoot one bullet at a time. Today’s assault weapon would be like the power of a cannon to them. The Second Amendment is NOT a legitimate reason not to ban assault weapons. Ban them now.

Try applying this argument to Mormons or to the Radio, TV, or the Internet, regarding the First Amendment.

The Revolutionary War was fought with long-range rifled-barrel rifles and cannons. That was before the Bill of Rights.

In the 1780s there was no TV, radio, films, or internet. Therefore no 1st Amendment rights for speech unless it is in person (no microphones or bullhorns!!) or written (quill pens permitted).
