Do you remember what the 2a was created for? That there was no individual right contemplated until Scalia read it in? If you are an originalist about the constitution you have no basis for thinking you and not the state controls access.

I know it wasn't created for hunting or sport, as you just implied in another tweet.

The 2A was created in place of a standing army. We now give billions to the military and their weapons are so sophisticated that the precious AR-style weapon is pretty obsolete in the face of a missile.

I’m confused, is an AR15 a “weapon of war” or is it an “obsolete” relic like my grandfather’s bolt action Winchester Model 70?

The 2A is there to deter against a tyrannical gov’t. The British confiscated weapons from the colonists IOT keep them in line and needful of the Crown’s defense rather than their own.
