So what changed lol? Almost all of them are still relevant today, there's the odd one like the 3rd (quartering soldiers in your home) that are no longer used but the 1st, 2nd, 4th-8th, 10th (goes unnoticed and gets ignored apparently), etc. are still hugely important. And btw there's no asterisk with restrictions on the 2nd...it wasn't specifically for hunting or personal defence...it was so you could overthrow corrupt governments. Fuck I think anyone with no criminal record or major mental health issue should be allowed an AK-47 if he so chooses.
