This line of reasoning has to explain how we can regulate things like:
- Javelin missile launchers
- aerosolized bioagents
- jet fighters
- land mines
but not sniper rifles.
Again, if you're going to extrapolate what "arms" meant in the late 18th century, you have some choices:
- personal arms of the day (muskets, cannons, bayonets)
- personal arms of the current day (missile launchers [0])
- weirdo arms of the current day (drones, gases and bioagents, dirty bombs, white phosphorous)
Originalism isn't helpful to us here, it turns out.
