Mia Farrow schools Sarah Huckabee Sanders

The kalthoff repeater had been around since the 1600’s and could fire in excess of 50 rounds per minute. Men of war or science/technology, would likely have been aware of it’s existence even if none of them owned one, as well as many other weapons that were not simply muskets. There is also Joseph Belton who dealt directly with them on the matter of repeating weapons so....they definitely knew muskets were not the final form of firearms.

Lets pretend the anti-gun crowd is not full of complete shit and muskets actually were the pinnacle of firearms technology at the time. What kind of moron sits around thinking “yup, this is it, we have taken technology to its limits”. Seriously who? Technology was moving along just fine in multiple fields, including warfare, no one would have thought that then, just as no one is stupid enough to believe it now.

Honestly people just need to stop with the whole “they couldn’t have known” argument because its just sad in multiple ways. I think they will have better luck arguing if “well-regulated” means the same thing today as it did back then, at least that is open to debate. Or that the constitution was meant to be flexible, anything is better than this utter nonsense about technology.
