Yes... but no.
The "arms" they referred to in the 2nd amendment were those useful for service in the militia, and protected the rights of the people to own and use those weapon so, among other things, they would have those weapons, should the militia need to be called into service.

What do you suppose this equates to in 2022?

 

Folks were able to arm themselves with field artillery and cannon on private ships. The best technology of the day. That is exactly why the 2nd amendment was designed to provide to citizens.

 

So we can have ATACMS? MLRS? M109 Artillery? COOL!!

 

I am astounded by the thunderous silence of the usual anti-gun members of this board.

 

The anti gun folks took a big hit in Ukraine. An armed populace has helped hold a major military operation at bay. And news is....taking back territory.
