8. I do not believe that you have read the actual Amendment.
The Second Amendment makes no exclusive reference to flintlocks. The Second Amendment states that the right of the people to keep and bear "arms" shall not be infringed. Additionally, a well-regulated militia is stated as a justification for a prevention of infringement of that right, but the Amendment does not require any individual to be a member of a militia in order to receive the benefit of protection from infringement from the governmen of that right.
