If the Founders of this country saw their sacred right to have a musket in your home stretched to semi-automatics that kill dozens of children in regular mass shootings, they would be disgusted. There's no way to extrapolate that intent from them. None.

Correction: If they saw those weapons in the hands of the police and other government forces, and the citizenry not keeping up, they'd be disgusted.

Yes. I don't think it's either-or, they'd be disgusted by both.

Technological breakthroughs in weaponry since the days of the Founders have raised real problems on both sides of that coin, such as the fact we couldn't stand up to our government right now no matter how powerful our guns, like I mentioned; since the early 80's at least that has been a joke of an idea given the strength of our national defenses and intelligence. We the citizenry can't keep up. It IS disgusting. But it is also reality either way, a scary reality that we can either sit here and be in denial of or look straight in the face - and since that battle has long been lost, it's time not to surrender other liberties for the sake of one we sadly already have.
