Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ-12) said even a “non-lawyer” knows the Second Amendment protects muskets, not “assault weapons.”

Coleman suggested that contentions to the contrary have always bothered her.

She said, “This is something, as a non-lawyer, that I have had trouble with from the very beginning. When the framers of our Constitution considered the Second Amendment, they were talking about muskets. They were not talking about ‘assault weapons.'”

if so then the 1st only protects pen and paper not printing presses and electronic devices.

How about kegs of black powder? They had those.
How about the Girondoni 20 shot repeating rifle?
How about the pepper box?
How about cannons? They had cannons

Even a non lawyer knows that the 1st amendment only covers a single page at a time printing press and not one of those multi page printers nobody needs a multi-page printer and as far as the internet goes that is not covered it all!
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Our Founding Fathers were proud that Americans were trusted with arms because they knew that only when people are armed could they truly be thought of as free citizens. And that's where the circle closes. Those who want to deprive you of your right to keep and bear arms are intending to deprive you of your freedom, period. Like the criminals their policies encourage, these elitists know that it is always best to disarm victims before you enslave them. — Charley Reese
