There is no asterisk, true. And to wit: The 2A is the most plainly-stated, least equivocal of all the ammendments. Therefore, it is the least open to interpretation.I kinda doubt it...I have seen what a .50 caliber round ball will do to steel plates and gongs..
Not saying that a muzzle loading rifle of .50 caliber would be my first choice for use against a AI bot....
Oh and for future reference .50 caliber would be uncommon and on the small size for a musket.
Most muskets were in the .67 - .80 caliber range.....
More to the point of the OP.....
"...the right of people to keep and bear Arms , shall not be infringed ."
This bit of the 2nd Amendment is very important for what it says...and what it doesn't say.
As in it doesn't say :
"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms , but only Arms of certain types and for specific uses , shall not be infringed."
The 2nd Amendment does say "Arms"...followed with no exclusions or exceptions...
Which would mean that there is no limit to be placed on just what Arms that one can keep or bear.
However , that is only my reading of the 2nd Amendment.
Which is sadly , different that how many if not most of our so-called representatives read it.
