    It may be important distinction for historians but it’s irrelevant when discussing current decisions for the Supreme Court regarding modern gun laws.

    The whole discussion started because of gun laws in Hawaii. You took it all back to the original intent. Who cares about it? Their intent is irrelevant in today’s geopolitical situation, with modern guns and with US having a standing army. Both of you are just trying to justify your current world view by using irrelevant facts. What you’re doing is more similar to interpreting the bible than arguing about constitution. You have your scripture, your prophets, your dogmas and you’re basically arguing which rabbi is better at interpreting all of it.
