Original Note:
The continental congress, and by extension the writers of the 2nd amendment, were aware of ‘repeating rifles’. Proving they were aware of potential advancements in the technology. As such, claims that the 2nd amendment was only written with muskets in mind are misleading. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Correspondence_between_John_Belton_and_the_Continental_Congress
