That's how liberals fight the second amendment in the US. Continue to pass obviously unconstitutional laws that they know will inevitably get overruled, and then pass another slightly different one once it does. Constant state of appeals. And nobody gets any recourse for squandered rights in the end. No politicians are barred or held accountable for their blatant abuse of the legal system. It's like a DoS attack on liberties.

kinda like what radical reactionary (R) state legislatures have been doing with abortion restrictions since 1973 until the Dobbs decision, right?

Funny that. Not.

Please point to unconstitutional laws that were passed and sustained in spite of these.

> What types of Arms? Does a tank fit in an Arm? What about a kamikaze drone?

This was written in an era of mercenary warships (see: "privateer"), so yeah, as written it includes all of that.


Privateers generally had a letter of marque from an actual government, otherwise they were just pirates. If gun owners need to get a letter of marque from their state government to own arms, I think the gun control people would be on board...
