The 2nd Amendment only applies to muskets...

[EvilWayz]

"The word 'arms' in the connection we find it in the Constitution of the United States, refers to the arms of a militiaman or soldier, and the word is used in its military sense. The arms of the infantry soldier are the musket and bayonet; of cavalry and dragoons, the saber, holster pistols and carbine; of the artillery, the field piece, siege gun, and mortar, with side arms." -English v State, Texas 473, 476 (1871-2)

Thank God those “weapons of war” have evolved.

Sovereign - possessing supreme or ultimate power:
"in modern democracies the people's will is sovereign"

When the people of the 13 Colonies threw the British out in the war for independence, the Sovereign King of England passed his Sovereignty to the PEOPLE by official decree, not to any government organization.

The SOVEREIGN People and their militias were to be the counter balance to the Fed's Military, and therefore should be equivalently armed....

'Support and Defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.'
