OP
Considering that it was ratified in 1791, I'm guessing they weren't considering automatic weapons

And I would hope that in 2024 he's willing to primary that opportunistic, backstabbing twit Sinema out of a job.

(66 posts)4. It doesn't matter what constitutes a militia.
The only thing that matters is what the Supreme Court says. According to the Supreme Court, the 2nd Amendment has 2 parts. The first part reads, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,". That is the only part that is about the militia. The second part says, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." You may not agree with that, but only the Supreme Court can say what any part of the Consitution means.
