If we're going to get Socratic, I have more questions for club:
(1) Do we construe the Second Amendment in accord with the framers' understanding? If so, why doesn't that mean that the right to bear "arms" only applies to flintlock rifles and the like?
(2) Do average citizens have the right to bear flamethrowers, grenades, and other infantry weapons? If not, why not?
