It depended on the city or county you were in as far as what blades you could carry, but fixed blades were verboten statewide until the new law went into effect.

I prefer the look of German uniforms, but US uniforms are definitely underrated.

Always thought that the M1851 and M1854 uniforms were the best, looks wise. But 1800s US uniforms are great in general.

I don’t have very strong opinions on the 2nd amendment, but I think historical context is important, I mean, at the time the framers wrote it, they didn’t have nearly as much weaponry as we do now. They lived in an age before most guns, save for muskets and such. It’s hard to say where the line should be drawn, because technology has advanced since the constitution came to be.

Well using that argument the constitution shouldn't be applied to the internet, radio, or other new means of communication.

It also ignores the fact that the framers basically allowed privately owned warships and cannons, they in fact encouraged it.

That is true, but I never said that the 2nd amendment should be limited to weapons of the time, only that it is hard to draw the line when more than two hundred years have passed. I mean, we don’t even have state militias anymore, which was an important part of the 2A.

The important part of the 2nd Amendment is the enumerated negative right to keep and bear arms, the prefatory clause merely states a positive use for said enumerated right.
During the drafting of the 2nd Amendment, the founders were quite aware of the advancements in firearm technology.

Certainly, but predicting firearm technology over the course of over 200 years would be an impossible task. The founders would have likely drawn a line somewhere had modern firearms existed at the time.
