Original Note:
The 2nd Amendment wasn't about a type of arm but the people's ability to revolt against a tyrannical government. King George confiscated arms to control the colonists. The framers had this fresh in their memory. It is about ability to revolt by force of arms. https://www.cato.org/commentary/why-anti-tyranny-case-2nd-amendment-shouldnt-be-dismissed-so-quickly https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed46.asp https://www.heritage.org/the-essential-second-amendment/how-does-armed-people-secure-free-state
