"keep and
bear" arms" Does this sound like the writers of the Constitution meant that the people should individually have cannons in their homes or battleships and tanks stored in their yards or even the latest fighter jets?
That would be a scary sight to see a hundred men coming at you as they each carried a howitzer and a tank on their shoulders to accompany their rifles. Even one such guy would be frightening.
It sounds more, as they explicitly said, as the right to own arms that you can
carry such as an "assault rifle" or semi-automatic hand gun or some type of military looking knife.
