Well I am sure that strict constructionist from the early 19th century are rolling over in their graves at the liberal construction of the word "Arms". Judicial activism is running rampant in the states, with interpretations of the word that no reasonable person would place on the word arms. The activist judges have expanded the meaning of the word "Arms" through implication, including such things under the term "Arms" that were never intended. It is too bad, I bet guys like Scalia have a real intellectual problem with the ever expanding second amendment, each time a new gun is created, that somehow gets included in the word Arms
