How do so many Americans have a fundamental misunderstanding of the 2nd amendment?

I see the “the founders NEVER would’ve expected fully automatic 5.56 assault clips that can shoot 20 rounds per clip second” argument so much from liberals, and it’s so irrelevant.

First of all, semi automatic weaponry was in production several hundred years before the Bill of Rights. Fully automatic multi barreled machine guns were also in production. Even muskets were absolute killing machines back then, and they still allowed citizens to own them.

That myth aside, the lethality of weapons doesn’t even matter because the 2nd Amendment was drafted specifically to allow civilian weaponry to be on par with our military’s small arms. For a bunch of liberal blue haired Taco Bell workers to call the foresight of the founding father into question is laughable. They EASILY could’ve included a clause in the 2nd amendment that had congress revisit the amendment every time new weapons tech came out. But again, they didn’t, and it was for a reason.

The entire purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to allow the citizens of the United States to compete with a government equipped fighting force, and we need AR-15’s to do that. The phrase “good times create soft men” couldn’t be more relevant than it is right now, we’re a society of soft men who are writing off the lessons that the founders learned through years of bloodshed and revolution because they think that tyranny and war could never find its way to American soil again.
