only a dumb liberal would hang his hat on applying a 21st century definition of a term used in the 18th century.
on the other hand, should we be applying 18th century laws on a much different 21st century world.
times change, an Amendment has been repealed but it happened only once, Prohibition of alcohol, the 2nd Amendment will never be repealed. the Supreme Court though in its decisions can change the interpretation of an Amendment. And it's done that in cases involving the 2nd Amendment, making gun control laws constitutionally legal and illegal. If Obama enacts new gun control laws, the Supreme Court will ultimately decide if the new laws stand.
I think banning a class of weapons is a slam dunk constitutionally with a court that leans liberal. I don't see where in the 2nd Amendment it says you can own any arms imaginable. Is it legal for a citizen to possess a tactical nuclear weapon?
