If what the original authors of the Constitution meant guided today’s originalists and if the Constitution is a dead document, then the right to keep and bear arms would mean today the kind of arms prevalent in the 18th century. Also “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” would be constitutionally limited to members of “a well regulated militia.” That is clearly not the case.
Ed.: I guess the author thinks only the National Guard (a select militia) should have guns, and even then only 18th-century muskets. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. — Robert Heinlein |
