But in point of fact, the objection that guns are, historical terms, modern, so aren’t rights doesn’t make any sense. Arms go back as far as humans.
The whole "When the constitution was written" thing is the worst brand of that TBH.
I mean, what? You really want people to shoot up a school with a fucking carronade?

We got the right to bear arms from the English, who not only had a right to bear arms but a requirement to have them under the Assize of Arms (1181), who themselves got it from the Germanic tribes, for whom we have documentation of this right and duty dating at least as far back as 690.
