| Soundwave said: For the pro-gun folks, if it says "right to bear arms" why can't civilians have grenade launchers? I think guns/rifles are lame, but a grenade launcher is pretty bad ass, why isn't that under "right to bear arms"? |
Because 230 years ago when the Constitution was written, only lame ass muskets and long rifles existed. It really should say "right to bear reasonable arms," which is how we interpret those original words today -which is exactly what the founding fathers wanted us to do when they wrote those original words all those years ago.
There is no way they could have anticipated the weapons of today, thus, it is up to us today to define which arms are reasonable and which are not.
