In the 18th century, people carried firearms everywhere - including to the pub or church. The idea that a man could not be armed was unheard of.

How you figure the idea that people should be able to carry a gun anywhere they go is a long way from original intent is beyond me. Further, the very obvious intent and fact of the time was for the people to be armed at least as well as the military - and in many cases, personal arms were far better than the military used. Our military still issued smoothbores up through the Civil War when private arms were near exclusively rifles. Hell - the Army issued swords in WWI long after a private citizen gave up on that antiquated arm.

You can tell yourself Heller and McDonald went they way they did because of a right wing court, but the plain fact is, even Miller supported an individual rights model, and supported the idea of the people carrying military weapons. Miller was not arrested because he had a shotgun with him - he was arrested because the shotgun was 1/4" too short by NFA standards.

Bottom line ST is you're wrong. Nothing in history supports you.
