The proposed amendments were written in 1791. The right to bear arms was never intended to refer to guns like an AK that can mow down a crowd of Innocents in seconds. Think of the kinds of guns they had back there. Can't unload on a crowd when your gun takes a minute to reload.

But... That just supports the point. It's fine for people to have weapons to protect themselves, when those weapons couldn't destroy the lives of tens or hundreds of people in seconds. Now that we have weapons of literal mass destruction, there should be different laws

Semi autos have still been used (effectively) in a majority of mass shootings. It doesn't matter if the gun is a pos in your opinion. It takes lives fast. Flintlock pistols used to take a minute to reload. Even with 20 seconds to reload, easier to stop shooters after one shot.

And cars, their sales, driver's licences, driving on the road, insurance, are all way more regulated than guns. You can't just buy any car, get in, and drive off. There should be gun licenses, mental health checks, etc. Not just.. go to a gun show, grab one and go shoot stuff.
