Could you please point out where the 2nd amd covers muskets?
The forefathers also had no idea that the future would bring us the Internet. Free speech is still covered there however. The constitution is ambiguous for many reasons.
Nowhere in your post did you even touch the issue of an extrajudicial process that exists in contravention of YOUR rights, and now that said process is to be implemented to remove even more rights. Which is where my concern lays. So we could debate the rest of your post (which seems redundant since you won't touch the whole point of due process in removal of rights) or you could read the one I made in response to KFF. Because that's there this debate is going to end. I'd rather save my breath.
