since it is in the constitution, it hasn't ever been taken out(i don't know if they can?). and as time went on, as technology improved, it all kind of was considered encompassing. assault rifles didn't exist, or i doubt they would've written that to be honest or been more specific

by the way i do own a gun in my home, for personal protection and i do enjoy going to the range as a stress relief, somewhat of a hobby. the more you immerse yourself with them, i feel the more comfortable you are with them
The "times have changed" argument doesn't work... you just think "times have changed."

History repeats itself, and there will always be people trying to destroy a free democracy. A well-armed public will at least have some sort of chance at defending their freedom.
