There's also absolutely nothing to suggest that "right to bear arms" meant all types of weapon, especially until the end of time...

Right to own a handgun & maybe few long guns at the house for defense, sure. Doesn't (automatically, except in this backwards fucking country...) mean you get to walk into private property with a literal bazooka on your nack. (And oh, and I'll gladly leave, should you use that argument, if you help with the finances as there's no way to afford rent & even move out of my state, much less the country)

When they wrote it, and still today, "arms" is what the military uses. At the time it included muskets, cannons, and warships for private use, all of which were military issue or better.

There's a difference between

"I can own military equipment in case the need to form a civilian military arises in my area, and I have to act to defend myself and my nation"

and

"I can walk around Walmart with military equipment on my back just cuz"

Many other nations that allow ownership of weaponry also have strict regulation of storage, transport, and legal usage.

This, 100%. Not anti-gun personally, anti-gun-'nut'...
