The founding fathers were well aware of guns more powerful than muskets when the 2A was written. It's a tired argument that the SCOTUS has rejected numerous times already.

If you truly believed that the exercise of our constitutional rights should be limited to only those means available at the time of the signing, then why aren't you apparently concerned that the 1A is being exercised with instruments and by means not available at the time of the founding fathers?

No 1A protections for; telegraph, radio, television, computer networks, Twitter, nor Mastodon to name a few.

Oh, you just want to apply limitations to those fundamental rights *you* personally disagree with?

Fortunately for the rest of us, the law isn't on your side.
