"The gun-grabbers will try to argue that the founding fathers were talking about muskets and not AR15s in the Constitution. This point is elementary to counter. James Madison, “The Father Of The Constitution,” wrote in Federalist No.46 about the need of the people to be armed as well as the military. Most gun-grabbers haven't even heard of the Federalist Papers."

Another argument that falls in line with this one - the "in common use at the time" phrase used by Justice Scalia and others. Using that literally, means that the Armed Forces would be armed with swords, and bows and arrows. (See what the actually statement really references.)

If gun-grabbers would stick to using fountain pens and typeset to do all their communicating rather than using cell phones, internet, TV, and radio, it would be a lot harder to think of them as hypocrites.

SSgt Christopher Brose - Don't you mean quill pens? I do not think that the fountain pen had been invented yet.

SSG Robert Webster - That's probably what I meant. I don't know, something old. Whatever they wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with.

SSgt Christopher Brose - I do believe that it was a quill pen. Probably from a turkey.
