Original Note:
The Founding Fathers were very aware of more advanced firearms than the musket (which was also considered cutting edge at the time) such as the Puckle gun and Kalthoff repeater. This is why the 2nd Amendment states "arms" and not "muskets." Advancement was expected. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalthoff_repeater https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puckle_gun
