Yes, but a musket was military grade in the 1700's, so maybe they were saying we should only military grade weapons? So let's ban bump stocks and 22's and instead make 50 bmg's and AA-12's legal...
"Military Grade" is not in the constitution.
Your right again, so let's ban anything that isn't actual "bear arms."
The point of the Constitution wasn't to limit the people's rights, it was to limit the federal government. So if we were going to get literal with the whole thing, then that would mean the federal government can't own anything the people can't own when it comes to bearing arms.
Yet, the Article VI clause that establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law, takes precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions.
