        Those may be representative of guns of the time, but I doubt they're the ones Hamilton and Burr used. Duels were usually fought with matched pairs of guns, and those are obviously not a matched set: one's a flintlock and the other uses percussion caps (which antedate the duel).

        Google “Puckle Gun” and get back to me on the founding fathers and their intentions concerning the Second Amendment.

        You mean a gun never used in combat, with no reliable record of more than two ever being built, that could fire at best 9 shots a minute in demonstration conditions, and that was designed primarily for military naval use?

        ‘shall not be infringed’. That’s the part that settles it. The remedy is a CA.

        They didn’t qualify it w such language. The founders knew firearms well and anticipated advances. 2nd amendment stands solid w USSC. Do a CA to change it. I’d like to see a psych rest for 1st timers. It’s the nut-jobs doing the mass shootings.
