The Puckle gun could fire 9 shots per minute. I'm not seeing much comparison to the rate of fire for modern guns.
That's because it was designed over THREE HUNDRED years ago, idiot. Right around the same time as the piano and tuning fork were first being invented. No one was comparing it to a modern machine gun. That was unbelievable state of the art for its day. Jesus, talking to you, is like talking to a babbling idiot. I feel like I need a frontal lobotomy to come down to your level of itinerant stupidity.
Yet you presented it as proof that the founding fathers were able to envision the modern fire power we have today. Make up your mind which way you want to go on that.
Do you honestly believe that they had no ability whatsoever to envision improvements in weaponry?
It doesn't even ******* matter. It says do not infringe, there should be no infringement whatsoever. recent supreme court cases have indicated that weapons in common use or protected. I don't agree with that finding but it does screw over your argument. If you don't like it, amend. Otherwise shut your ******* commie mouth.
. it's really that simple amend or shut the **** up.

You're dealing with a total ******* idiot who like Rightwinger, no matter what you say or present in B&W, they will simply deny and try to deliberately twist things around because THEY SIMPLY DO NOT WANT YOU TO OWN GUNS.
PERIOD.
They find you a personal threat to their existence.
It's not about crime, safety or anything else. They know they cannot be trusted with guns so assume you are like them. You might as well talk to the wall because they have a dream that involves telling others how they can and cannot live their lives. The best thing they could do is donate their bodies to science so we can dissect their brains to find out what went wrong with them.
I agree with you, and even think it is much deeper than that.
Assuming he is not simply trying to erode the right of self-defense so that the communist revolution can succeed (he probably is) he and others like him live in a state of denial.
He cannot accept the truth that humans are violent by nature. He cannot cope with the thought of defending himself or others from violence, with violence. He believes that violence can be suppressed. He believes that society exists to control others, rather than existing
SOLELY to allow conditions that foster voluntary non-violent co-existence of competing individuals.
His entire understanding of humanity and life itself is limited to that which is directly in front of him. Completely child-like. He and millions like him believe that humans being subjugated by a faceless government entity, rather than an identifiable group of other humans, is somehow different. Or, maybe he knows it is not different. He is simply trying to disguise his ultimate theft and enslavement of other humans by use of the faceless entity. Maybe his is that diabolical, or maybe he just doesn't understand what he is truly proposing.
Either way, he refuses to acknowledge the truth about society being useless if it demands a surrender of the means of extreme violence, rather than promote conditions where such violence is unnecessary. It all goes back to early humanity. Tribe A of primitive humans would never surrender its weapons to Tribe B, because to do so would be to surrender all food and other resources to Tribe B. The two can only co-exist if they both have the means to discourage an attack from the other.
I suspect that he wants us surrender our weapons so he can use government to plunder the fruits of our labor and resources without resistance (communism/socialism).
