Agree. Many, gato included, insist on talking about 'guns' and the 'well armed militias' we've been drilled to cherish. Their 'arms' were muskets with a rip-roaring fire rate of one or two rounds per minute. Assault rifles today are over 700 rpm.

Today, 'arms' can be guns, chemicals, explosives, bacteria, drones, robots, computer code, and who knows what.

That's what the best-dressed militias of tomorrow will be wearing. They already are in some parts of the world.

I don't think the Framers or Founding Fathers had issues like this to grapple with. To persist in feeling that they were all-knowing and all-seeing is one of the great flaws of the American psyche.
