Obviously we just need to apply a 1791 standard to the 2nd amendment. If the weapon existed when the amendment was ratified, you're allowed to own as many of them as you want. If it was only invented after 1791, it's illegal to own one.
Checkmate, strict constructionists.
(Realistically though, a ban on semi-automatics (automatics are already banned I'm pretty sure) and magazines with more than a handful of bullets, seems sensible.)
You want to be careful with this line of argument. Does the First Amendment not apply to the Internet, TV and radio?
