re: #238 austin_blue

The second amendment guaranteed the arms at the time, which were single shot pistols and rifles.

This is a poor argument, since they can just respond by asking if the 1st Amendment only applies to methods of free speech available it the time.

I’d say a better argument is that it only specifies that people be able to keep and bear arms, and not that they get to choose what those arms are. Can you in fact buy, keep and carry a selection of revolvers and bolt action rifles? Then congrats, your right to keep and bear is intact. We’ll just be putting all these detachable magazine fed semi-automatics into a furnace now.
