while it may be a popular liberal point of view that assault rifles or rapid fire guns could not have been thought of by the founders , i call bull st*t ! with known inventors and forward thinking military men as the founders ,im pretty sure they came to the conclusion that advancements in weaponry would defiantly take place

Less than 20 years after the adoption of the Constitution, the Girandoni (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girandoni_Air_Rifle) rifle was used by the Lewis and Clark expedition, making the Government of the time well aware of it.

This rifle that could be fired rapidly 20 times in a row (19 more times than the black powder rifles of the time) making it a multiple magnitude step forward in firearms technology. It didn't ruffle anyone's feathers at that time because the politicians were still principled and stuck to their oaths back then.

The Puckle Gun was invented in 1718

Hell, Leonardo da Vinci designed a rapid fire gun in the 14th century (never built, but on the drawing board).

I believe that our founding fathers were very forward thinking people, so I think you'd be amazed what they envisioned for the future.


One thing our founding fathers VERY CLEARLY though about was the totalitarian impulse ... which they designed our entire form of government to resist. And to quote Al Sharpton; "Resist we much!"

I can't find it now, but there was a meme I saw a few weeks ago with Thomas Jefferson talking to a modern liberal and they said "The second amendment doesn't apply to modern rapid fire guns." Jefferson: "Shall not be infringed. Did I fucking stutter?"

Every time I hear a libturd bring that up, I come back with "well the founders also didn't know about TV, radio, or the internet - so does the first amendment not apply to those media forms"?
