- Veratyr 9y agoYes, at the time they were relatively powerful, however they were still weak in an absolute sense. One person misusing a musket could not have slaughtered a small town's worth of people. The right to bear a weapon that can't do a devastating amount of harm without others to support you is different to the right to bear a weapon that can. If you disagree, let me know when your campaign to amend the constitution to permit the production, ownership and use of nuclear weapons is ready.
