"The 2nd Amendment was designed with muskets in mind, not high-powered handguns and assault rifles."

"It was devised for people to be able to protect themselves with the same type of weaponry used by those from whom they might need protection."

"Where exactly does it say that in the Constitution- must have missed it?"

"Right next to the word 'muskets'."

It was, however, designed in order for well trained militias to be formed, not for the average person (see also: utter moron) to have an assault rifle for no reason other than "Oh it's cool."
That's not to say we should ban them, but for fuck's sake we need to jump through tons of hoops in order to get a CAR, something we use to move places, and yet I could easily go get a high powered firearm that could mow down a ton of people. And >I< should not be able to legally get a gun. Yet I could, pretty easily.
